The Quake and Global Synchros

Posted on August 27, 2011 by Trish and Rob

On August 23, when we first saw the news about a 5.8 quake in Mineral, Virginia that was felt from Atlanta to Canada, we figured there had to be some synchros involved. Sure enough, the damage in Washington, D.C. was revealing.

The Washington monument, built to commemorate President George Washington, was completed in 1884, and according to Wikipedia, is the world’s  tallest stone structure and tallest obelisk. Its height is a shade over 555 feet-  169.294 meters – and the monument is made of marble, granite, and bluestone gneis.   During the quake, it sustained a four foot crack on the West side near the pyramid top of the monument, which has since been closed to the public until repairs can be made.

Since the monument was built to commemorate George Washington,  the first president of what was then, in 1789 – and is now – a fragile democracy, this damage may reflect the fractured congress that can’t seem to get anything accomplished and which nearly brought the country to its knees during the crisis about raising the debt ceiling.

The other significant damage was to the National Cathedral in Washington. This Episcopal church considers itself to be the “spiritual home of the nation.” Not only were three of its four spires damaged, but the head of an angel fell off. There were other monuments and buildings in D.C. that were damaged, but these two seem to be addressing democracy and spirituality.

On the democracy front, the damage to the Washington Monument may be a warning about what’s going to be happening – or not happening – when Congress returns from their long vacation. Cracks, fractures, closed door negotiations ( monument closed to the public.) Could this be a possible reference to the so-called Super Committee of 12 – 6 Dems, 6 Repubs – who will decide (or not) how the debt issue will be handled?

With the National Cathedral, the possible message becomes even more intriguing. Since the cathedral considers itself the spiritual home of the country, the fallen head of the angel is sort of alarming. Is the U.S. becoming a fallen angel?

The division between church and states has blurred so much that candidates like Texas governor Rick Perry can hold a prayer vigil where most of the seats in the stadium are vacant, and yet he rises by double digits in the polls. Michelle Bachman, a Tea Party favorite, peppers all her speeches with references to God  – God told her to run, God told her this, that, and is whispering in her ear 24/7. The fallen angel may be synchronistically symbolic of where religious divisions and schisms here in the U.S. and worldwide, will take us.

The world in which we’re now living seems to be riddled with clues about where we’re headed – and why. Our interpretations may be wrong. But the beauty of global synchros – of all synchronicities – is that we each have our own interpretations, our own takes on what they mean, and can plan our lives and act accordingly.

Animals at the National Zoo in D.C. apparently knew what was coming. And so did some of the planetary empaths.

Hurricane Tips- for Friends on the Eastern Seaboard

Posted on August 26, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

 

Be sure you have plenty of bottled water, batteries of various sizes, canned goods, ice, stuff to watch on laptops, board games, whatever makes you happy. The aftermath without power is usually worse than than the cane.

Have a propane grill. Be sure to have cash at home. Stock up on kitty litter, dog food, snacks. Hard boil a bunch eggs. Good source of protein and they keep for a long time without refrigeration. Gas up you car. Have plenty to read. Write on your laptop in your car, the laptop plugged in to the lighter.Have a generator, if possible.

Use plywood on your windows if you don’t have shutters.  If you don’t have plywood, then use masking tape on your windows – makes Xs. It supposedly keeps glass from shattering. Trim trees. Be kind to the animals that seek refuge on your porches, in your home. Pay attention to what the birds are doing. They  always know.

Have plenty of towels available. They’re good for leaks. Have a safe room and an evacuation plan.

When the power goes out, start loading your cooler with ice and perishables.

Fill prescriptions before the  storm hits.

Crank up the numbers on your fridge, your freezer.  Maintain your sense of humor. Get to know your neighbors.

It’s really important to do what your authorities recommend. But this comes with a caveat. If they tell you to evacuate and everything inside of you screams against doing that, then stay put. These screams are your instincts speaking and, besides,  your fear and trepidation may attract unwanted experiences.

I remember that in 2005, accuweather.com showed Hurricane Charlie coming right  up through Florida as a cat 4 or 5. I called Millie, a psychic who has proven to be accurate about  about weather stuff, and when she said their forecast was wrong, that Charlie would hit on the west coast of Florida, we stayed put. It turned out she was right.

And remember: this too shall pass.

The Owl and Mercury Retrograde

Posted on August 26, 2011 by Trish and Rob

On August 9, we posted a synchro called Mush Head and the Owl, about an owl we met in the Amazon.  I knew that somewhere around the house I had a photo of this owl, but didn’t have any idea where it might be.  I searched all the usual places and finally gave up on it.

So, a week or so later, I figured I would put Mercury retrograde to some positive use and cleaned out our back bedroom. We have a guest arriving next week and I didn’t want her to have to sleep in a room piled high with stuff. So I gathered up all of Megan’s things that got stashed in the bedroom when she move after college, went through the closets, organized the bookcases, the night stand. And there, inside the nightstand, I found a photo album my dad had put together when Rob and I were leading tours in the Amazon.

This photo was right on top.You can see the piece of rope still around his foot that the boy who owned him used to tether the owl to his shoulder. Is he cute or what? Now I’m wondering if he’s a messenger again, finding his photo after all these years. It seems only appropriate to post this on the day Mercury turns direct again!

The ‘I don’t know’ synchro

Posted on August 25, 2011 by Trish and Rob

We spent most of the day on a recent Sunday trying to figure out something that should be relatively simple – the format and general content for a journal focusing on creativity. With journals, most of the pages are blank. Our job basically is to guide and inspire, but do so briefly.

After going back and forth with ideas and getting frustrated, we decided we liked to create much more than pick apart the process of what we do. Sure, we were trying to create something, but we kept fumbling the nuts and bolts and it was driving us crazy. I mentioned to Trish that we should look for a synchronicity to guide us. But what I noticed was that both of us would mutter from time to time: ‘I don’t know…I don’t know.’ I mentioned it to her and she said, “Well, it’s true. We don’t know.”

Meanwhile, one of my ideas for the journal was to include a quote on inspiration or creativity for each of our entries. So after gathering nearly 75 quotes to choose from, I accidentally opened Google Reader and noticed Mike Perry’s post for that day was a list of quotes about inspiration.

Curious, I pulled it up the list. One of the entries was a lengthy quote by a poet named Wislawa Szymborska. Surprisingly, the last line read:

“Whatever inspiration is, it’s born from a continuous ‘I don’t know.'”

So, there was our synchronicity. And, yes, in spite of our negative-sounding  mutterings–or maybe because of them–we finally came up with a feasible outline before the day was done.

Pluto

Posted on August 24, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

The big guy is Earth, the little guy is Pluto

+++

It’s the little planet that swirls at the edge of the solar system, the one that astronomers have dissed and demoted so it’s no longer a planet in their scheme of things. But astrologers who dismiss Pluto as irrelevant do so at their own peril.

Pluto is the great transformer, the absolute bottom line. It takes no hostages, can’t abide victims, and basically just does its thing: working from the bottom up, from the inside out, it strips away veneers, facades, lies, duplicities, and exposes the  truth, whatever it is.  Then it smacks it down, destroys it, and says, OK, now build something better from the ashes.

Right now, the world is experiencing Pluto’s transit  through Capricorn, a sign that rules authority, structures, foundations, everything we have taken for granted for decades. This transit began in late January 2008, then Pluto turned retrograde and slipped back into Sagittarius between June  14, 2008- late November 2008. Take a look at this Wikipedia timeline for how Pluto brought havoc to financial markets – the subprime mortgage crisis, the sky is falling shriek from Wall Street and the Bush administration, the bailout for banks and everyone except The People.

Once Pluto entered Capricorn again in late November 2008 – Obama had won the presidency and for a little while, life seemed to be pretty good despite the chaos. But Obama inherited a mess and any secret undercurrent held by the status quo has been subsequently stripped of its veneer and exposed for what it is: a scam. From the health care debacle in the U.S.  to the Murdoch hacking scandal in the U.K. to the debt ceiling absurdity to the downgrading of the U.S. credit rating, the monsters are being exposed.

And they’re running scared.

As Pluto continues to strip away the veneers (and it’s going to be in Capricorn until 2024), we are witness to chaos in the very institutions we thought were rock solid.  On a personal level, this transit forces us to look at the very things that may terrify us as individuals. I want security. I want a relationship I can depend upon. I want guarantees. Unfortunately, Pluto denies us our desires if those desires aren’t rooted in what’s best for each of us and, in the larger picture, if those desires don’t serve the collective need. A paradigm shift can’t occur until a tipping point is reached.

So unless that point is reached, Pluto will continue to expose  the lies and strip away the facade of organizations and corporations founded on greed, opportunism, and corruption. Capitalism is a broken system and Pluto is tearing it apart chunk by chunk, enabling us to peer behind the curtain and see the wizards for what they are – small, frightened people clinging to ways that no longer work. As these institutions crash and burn, Pluto expects us to build something better in those ashes.

What’s that something going to be?

Grey Wolf in Delaware

Posted on August 23, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

 

We’ve posted a number of stories about animals as synchronistic messengers. This one  appeared as a  comment under Mush Head and the Owl. It’s such a striking confluence of events that we decided to bring it forward as a post. Jenean now lives in Delaware, so this sighting of a grey wolf is most unusual.

+++

Today while I was out with my grandkids, we were approaching the turn off from the main highway to our house when a large gray wolf crossed the road. This is a four-lane divided highway that runs north/south through the entire state, right in the middle of the heaviest populated area of our town – and there’s the wolf.

Traffic was braking and nearly rear-ending for at least half a mile upon sight of this animal.  Several cars pulled over. I was northbound and the wolf was in the middle of the southbound lanes of traffic – but not one person failed to slow down or actually to stop for him. I mean, there were near-collisions with every blink of the eye. I so wanted to turn around and go back to where he was but I couldn’t have gotten through the backlog of cars. Finally, I saw a patrol car pull out toward where he was .

Aside from the absolute and total uniqueness of such a thing – a grey wolf in this Podunk Delaware town on a major highway – is that for some time I have toyed with the idea of buying a little camper. Well, when I Googled “grey wolf Delaware” the second site that popped up was one selling a “grey wolf” travel trailer.  And get this: it’s listed for sale in the town where I live!

+++

What’s the message? Well, first we should consider   that Jenean’s blog is called gypsy woman and there are numerous references to the Gypsy’s caravan. So it would seem the grey wolf is telling her   to buy that little grey wolf camper and hit the open road.

Hurricane Irene and the I Ching

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

As of tonight, Sunday evening, Tropical Storm Irene is expected to become a hurricane by Monday morning.  South Florida is not only within the cone of error, but the present track has the storm crossing into South Florida as Category 1 storm on Thursday or Friday, depending on its forward speed.

If it crosses the island of Hispaniola, then the 10,000 foot mountains between the  Dominican Republic and Haiti could tear it up. If it crosses Cuba, the mountains there could do the same. If it doesn’t hit either of these islands and remains over the very warm water, then it’s expected to intensify.  Lots of ifs here.

Rob and Megan are in Minnesota and due back Wednesday night. My friend Nancy Pickard is visiting and is due to return home on Friday. So with all this in mind, I decided to consult the I Ching – a good test for divination. My question: Is Irene going to hit us?

I used this site to ask the question, which I have used before and is often uncannily accurate. I got hexagram 2, The Receptive, with no changing lines.  My heart sort of sank when I saw the word receptive.

“Applied to human affairs, therefore, what the hexagram indicates is action in conformity with the situation. The person in question is not in an independent position, but is acting as an assistant. This means that he must achieve something. It is not his task to try to lead – that would only make him lose the way – but to let himself be led. If he knows how to meet fate with an attitude of acceptance, he is sure to find the right guidance. The superior man lets himself be guided; he does not go ahead blindly, but learns from the situation what is demanded of him and then follows this intimation from fate.”

I asked Nancy, who is something of an expert on the I Ching, what she thought. “It could just mean you should be receptive to whatever comes,” she said.

I told her my question was to the point: Is Irene going to hit us?  “Hmm,” she murmured. “It doesn’t look took good.”

Time to buy ice.

PS  The 11 PM forecast shows a track farther to the east! keep moving east, baby!

Terrence McKenna and Time

Posted on August 21, 2011 by Trish and Rob

Terrence McKenna was hard to pigeonhole. Author, philosopher, explorer of inner worlds, a master of the I Ching, a spiritual teacher. His ideas about time and space and the evolution of consciousness are all touched upon in this video, taken from one of his seminars. He died in 2000 from a brain tumor.

Telepathic Alien Encounter

Posted on August 20, 2011 by Trish and Rob
Starbrite A. Sparkles's picture

This story comes to us from Starbrite A. Sprinkle. It’s an interesting synchronistic link between a radio show and a UFO sighting combined with a telepathic message.

***

“Telepathy has been defined as the transference of thoughts or feelings between two or more subjects through Psi.  Dr. David Jacobs, one of the prominent researchers in the UFO field, in his studies has found in his abduction research that telepathy is the main communication provided between the abductees and the aliens.

“The experience I personally encountered was not an abduction, but I maintain it was telepathic communication, or a knowing.  This raises the question; can an event, other than an actual abduction, cause two subjects to become so connected that they are able to communicate without being in contact physically?

“Telepathy, which is of the psychic level of the mind, tends to operate beyond pure words and linguistics.  It takes the place in the form of feelings, images, and desires. You may be able to receive telepathic communication from another subject in the form of pure words.  However, it usually comes through a feeling, image, or desire.   All three occurred in my experience.

“Depending on whether the telepathic message is verbal or nonverbal as well as your dominant mental modality, you might receive the message by instantly knowing it (paracognition), hearing it from an inner voice in you mind (clairaudience), visualize it (clairvoyance) or feeling it (clairsentience).  The message I telepathically received comprised all four of these methods.

“My experience occurred while I was listening to one of the late night radio shows and working on my computer.  The subject that evening was exo-politics and disclosure.  The guest wanted listeners to post on-line at a site that President Obama set up to ascertain major policy areas that were important to the public.  The website was the Citizens Briefing Book.  I typically do not interact, other than listening to the show, but somehow, I was drawn to post on the Citizens Briefing Book site.  I look upon this as an experience in alien telepathy and connectivity.

“Listening to my inner consciousness, here is what I posted:

“‘I heard a comment on the news today that the government knew about the terrorist facts that led up to the 9/11 tragedy and did not disclose them to us because they were afraid that as a nation we could not handle it.  That is, we are not sophisticated enough to be given the facts and be allowed to discern the impact of this on our future.

“‘Such I feel is the way that the government has in the past viewed the extraterrestrial presence in our universe.  The government has feared that the country as a whole will not be able to handle the reality of the presence of multidimensional beings or alien lifeforms. Do not make the mistakes of our past administrations by not being forthright with us and allow the information to be disclosed.   You said that you wanted to be the administration of change.  Well, this is the prime opportunity.  You have the opportunity by allowing the truth and disclosure of the alien presence to be a primary objective of this administration.

“‘Another plus is the cost of disclosure in terms of budget dollars will be minimal, it will not cost millions or trillions of dollars.   You cannot attach a dollar value to the truth.  To remain in denial, as a nation could in the long run be one of the most costly mistakes this administration could make.’

“After I submitted this, I continued to work on the computer.  My office is in my house, but I also have a mobile home behind it.  As I walked out of the house, around 2:30 a.m. in the morning, to go to the trailer, I looked up into the sky and there to the right was a UFO.  The object was not exactly stationary, but appeared to behovering.  I was not frightened.

“The craft was oblong, as a sausage shape.  It had red lights circling on the outer perimeter and oscillating red lights at its base.  It was close enough that I could make out its form.   I have never seen lights like that before, and I have seen many in the nightsky.  I am not familiar with any military craft that meets this description.  There were no airport landings that evening that would have met this description either.

“What I am amazed at with this encounter is the synchronicity and symbolism.  It appeared for me  after I had made my first contribution to disclosure openly on the web or anywhere. I have heard it remarked that the aliens do not speak in open language and dialogue, but by thoughts they transmit as in telepathy.  The thoughts I received as I viewed the craft were those of a knowing, a knowing that the actions I had just taken were the correct ones and they approved.  It was a knowing confirmation and affirmation that this was the correct thing for me to do.

‘That psychic knowing message I received was not a thought I had conjured up in my mind.  Intuition is made up of feelings of clarity and inner certainty, exactly like my inner feelings during those moments.

“Out of this, I consider there is a psychic, telepathic element to the knowing, but in addition it is about mutual understanding.  Universal Mind or God will provide insights into a subject, because God is love and love connects you to that subject spiritually.  What I experienced was a mutual connectivity of knowing and connectivity.  The moment was pure, honest, and truthful. It was a knowing validation that there is an alien presence in our world, and the move towards disclosure is necessary and desired by them.”

Darren’s Byron Bay Synchros

Posted on August 19, 2011 by Trish and Rob

 

Darren, from Brisbane, Australia, experiences synchros that are layered and complex. We’ve reposted several of his synchronicities on our blog and also used one in Synchronicity and the Other Side.   The following story occurred at the Bryon Bay Writers’ Conference, which apparently features incredible art sculptures like the one in the photo above.

Darren originally decided to take time off to attend this conference because James Redfield (The Twelfth  Insight, Celestine Prophecy) was the featured speaker.  He bought his tickets, booked a hotel room, the whole nine yards. But then – a Mercury retrograde event occurred. Redfield cancelled due to an infected spider bite.  Wonder what the message is with that one?

But because all the signs seemed to be pointing to a good weekend that would be ripe for synchros, Darren went to the festival. So off he went.

One of the first synchros that struck him was the view of his door from inside his room.

As Darren describes it: “The door  reminded me of two doors I had seen somewhere before. One in a dream in the middle of an open field, and the other on a book I purchased, read and had a lot of strange synchronicities, as well.

During the weekend, Darren met Marcus C Anthony. Now here’s the interesting synchronistic connection with these two men. Both are native Australians, but Marcus now lives in Hong Kong. They met through our blog on synchronicity and Marcus has written several books on the topic.  Darren snapped a photo of Marcus coming out of a book signing:

After they met, Darren was apparently in a heightened state of consciousness and found a path to the beach that he simply had to explore.

The place it led to is dramatic and breathtaking. But notice the orb in the picture? As Darren wrote:

“I hadn’t noticed the orbs until uploading these pics, it was only because I had expanded them to full screen while selecting them that I take note. I’m not really into orbs that much, but I have never seen them in any of my cell phone camera pictures before…but then I have never taken pictures when I felt a spirit was walking with me, either. Tricks of light…or a spirit ?

“Having had an out of body experience around 11, if you had of asked me what my consciousness felt like or would have looked like if it was possible to record an image…then you are looking at it in that bottom photo. Trick of light or not, that’s a great representation of how I imagined I would have looked, if someone could have seen me and snapped a photo.

“When you have one…and you will (you may not come back to tell about it), you’ll see what I’m talking about here.”

+++

So even without James Redfield, Darren’s trip to the Byron Bay Writers’ Conference turned out to be a huge synchro success!
