The Pheasant calls to the Spider at the mouth of the Night:

I need to respond towards an undercurrent here that I can not ignore.

Why let the whole web that has been built be contaminated because a Gardener or keeper of it cannot act to seperate out the different energies and energy fibres that have been released to dilute what has been laid out by another. The intent in the threads interweave, but where is the sensitivity towards allow the natural blossoming a a single dreamer. When does the gardner act to hault the invasion into the sacred space?


I have to highlight the choice of the Gardener here at the gate into the night...

I think the 1st person I ever saw complain about how her intended thread had been basicly troden on was Lori. Sure, Erik and a few others did it to her way back.
The decision to not take the right side action and responsibility to protect someone's right to forumlate a topic without interfearance is a real shame. Blue Crow's compromise was very fair. This is the one thing about Lori that I will never quite accept, the one inconsistancy that arises time and time again. One of the orriginal people to want her topics to grow without unwanted abuse from other is in agreement that it is all ok. Something doesn't fit, not just in logic but in subtle energy and how the subtle unfolds the petals. It is a lot worse than it seems. Really. This kind of 'free forum' anthing goes has a real limitation in the world of energy. To declair 'sacredness' from our reason, but not act to preserve the sacredness laid out by oneself and others around is very slack and in fact a lie. Lori invites the spirit of someone who projects her inner abuse onto posters in order to correct them. It is based on how she relates within, and she invites a very wet man who drifts into poetry only to be all soppy and applaude people for their gossip and banter. I have seen over the last 3 years Lori pull these 2 spirit close to her as spirits she trusts. It is of great surprise to me. When 2 years ago Forest Wolf and myself pointed out that Lori had become weaker, I spoke from what I witness in how she handles events. Here I witness that she has not freed herself from this cycle yet. Those who we deem as friends really are not, how can those who feed and support weakness, and mock other's sacredness be the spirits that you would invite to walk with you on your path?

This inconsistancy is there, call it my opinion if you like and dicard it, I know that would be easier and *safer* for the group.

Or... be a Warrior. There is a difference. *Keeping the peace* is wishy-washy - you are facing Eternity here so act imeccably not to try and estamblish chums and gossip partners.

To think of where you would have placed yourself Lori with a slightly different choice. It amazes me. You would have been free from that one endless cycle in one simple act.

Hello Ant,

I hope the travels are going well.

I had a drink similar to that mushroom one you have when I was in India. Bang Lassies I think they were called there.
My drunken rant I had was very un called for and our of place, it had no grounding and I do actually like you, I have nothing against you, your personality, nature or anything.
I must say I am slightly jelous myself. The furtest I have been since you left is windsor, it was the first time Ive been though. Nice castle.

Message:

In the one hand a Warrior has knowledge, awarenes, his/ her view & acts used with usable energy.
On the other hand is held intent, alignment and power.
Attention is the messenger, the goer in-between.

Each morning shows that our energy is to be used and each dusk shows how we align our amount of personal power.

An amount of power

Everything is a myth to a certain context, certainly as far as knowledge is concerned. What adds the glue onto what we think is real is what we ourselves deem as important. Regardless, we are an amount of power and all we have is a scope or an area of ways to give our power. We can't really change the state of the world, yet our placement of power can jam like a wheel into things occurring. But we are not consciously saying, 'oh I must affect this', because at large it happens just from presence and contribution without knowing an exact affect.
If we place our power into having children then that is a way, a way of power to follow branches. Everything is a course manifesting. But the manifestation is made by power in us stepping.
We can re-invent ourselves in a number of ways but that is not what really makes a thing, the power in the act makes it. We are free to re-invent yourself in the exact same way for each dream-scene or life phase but again it is the power place that does it.
If we place our power into gossiping, general knowledge, family problems, celebrities and the latest talk of the town then we are joining our power to that and moving with that wheel.
We can work very hard indeed for a company, for a job and responsibility of employment. We can give such a large amount of our power to the temporary position. When the role vanishes, what have we made? I don't mean that it is useless to do so, I am simply asking the observer to ask what is made.
If we give our power to cultivate intellect or to be artists, musicians, dancers, poets or actors then we give our power to that and we manifest that from power. So everything created is a myth to an extent. It is something that we or another as an amount of power has given freely to.
To be aware of that and act with that power until the last day we have is all we have, it is all we have to play with, to get angry with, to protect, harmonise, relax, cultivate, inspire and love. We are all amounts of power whether we call ourselves witches, monks, men, wanderers, kings, statesmen of salesmen. All have an amount of power that is given through acts.

The devotion of where we will our power can actually be redirected at any given time. But we often create a sense of loss that looks back at what we were devoted to and in that we miss out on directing our *power-now*

What will you give your power to today?

An assembledge to Pluto:

words and images are like leaves from a tree, dead leaves blowing in the wind. It is the subtle force, the wind blowing it all that is of value and brings our true nature

The use of the attention number (1) is called 'Dreaming' by Sorcerer's and attention number (2) is called 'Stalking'. I mean the use of these. A Shaman too is aware of the 1st two types and uses them at best to try and master the dream of life they themselves have. Unhooking these 2 attentions from what may trap us and reinvesting these attention comes into a manner of self-mastery.

The Yogi knows the attention number (1) as the Ida Nadi and attention number (2) as the Pingala Nadi. He/ she surrenders these 2 attention in meditation to the attention number (3). This acts as an alta in a way. The surrendering point curbs the 1st 2 attentions so that the being in question is not soley driven by ego or conditions.

There has been an interesting trend in what people call Toltec's who follow the Shaman and Sorcerer path, where 'stalking' has become a kind of self-help system of healing.

Generally speaking, if we look at Western Societies, they are unaware of the 4 attentions. Mainly, the Cultures aware of it socially are the Chinese, India, and the Original Americans. There are of course others, and there was at some time an odd knowledge fog that lost the original alignment of African knowledge. As the intellect of Western Cultures finally evolves they become aware, but it is only an awareness held and explored with attention number (2). There are those of us who can manage to make shifts and break the fixation with the power of the gaze, attention number (1). The breaking allows a re-direcion and ability to re-create a dream from a new starthing point. But depending upon the layers of conditioning still held, the seeker may only re-create what was there before, but in a slightly different way.
