WakingTImes – Michael Forrester – All Truths Are True, Get Over It – 18 October 2013

It is often a painstaking process to attend to this subject without having to counter the millions of strong egos who simply refuse to accept such a simple concept. It is the struggle of the ages to move from a position of duality to one of acceptance that all truths are true, regardless of their perception, interpretation or validity to one or more persons. It’s a challenge for most to take this on at face value because the query by human nature is “how can there not be one truth?” My response is always “how CAN there be just ONE truth?” Can you see through other people’s eyes? Can you experience their emotions? Have you lived through their life experience? Can you see all perspectives? Of course not. So there cannot be any one truth for all people, and if you don’t believe it, that’s because you are experiencing your own perception of truth. See how it works?

SunTrust Banks 3rd-Quarter Net Down 82% On Mortgage-Settlement Costs – Update – 18 October 2013

4-Traders

( Lucas : This is an example of what all banks should do pay back all. It was not their money in the first place but yours.. they made you belief you needed to pay interest and the full mortgage/home loan back… They already were paid … that is what you did not know when signing. That application was their trade paper… and it has made them huge sums. Now they cry over losses and lawsuits, etc….)

By Andrew R. Johnson and Ben Fox Rubin

A slew of mortgage issues hammered SunTrust Banks Inc.’s (>> SunTrust Banks, Inc.) third-quarter earnings, as the Atlanta lender agreed to shell out more than $1 billion to end several legal issues while grappling with a slump in loan refinancing that has slammed the banking industry.

Dana Mrkich – NSW Fires And Lunar Eclipse In Aries – 18 October 2013

With 100 fires burning in the state of New South Wales (Australia), and hundreds of homes lost in a single day, this is as close as you get to a mass experience of Lunar Eclipse in Aries (18/19 Oct).

Lunar Eclipses are traditionally about letting go, healing and transformation through emotional release, while Aries is a fire sign, known for courage and force. Watching the interviews on television, the predominant response from those who have just lost everything they owned has been “It’s just a house, it’s just stuff, we are so grateful we all got out alive.” This is not to diminish the loss of the life one creates with a home, or the emotional impact of such a loss, as will likely hit once this initial shock has passed. It is however characteristic of the general Australian attitude, that no matter what comes our way we get up, brush ourselves off, keep trucking forward and re-build. Some things just cannot be re-built, and so this is also a time to send prayers to those grieving the loss of livelihoods and cherished momentoes.  The fires came fast and furiously, with people barely having time to grab their hard drive or laptop (this is where the photos are these days) and their pets – and some not even able to get to that.

Visionkeeper – Laying A Foundation – 18 October 2013

(Picture by http://www.favim.com)

Music to read by below:

I know many folks are cruising along well ahead of many in their awakening process and that is wonderful. There are also many who are still rubbing the sleep out of their eyes and I wish to be there for them as well and to offer a suggestion to those people in hopes it may help them find the courage to embrace the truth of today’s reality. In my last post I mentioned how I no longer wish to keep suggesting what people should do, instead, I said it was time to stand on your own, go within yourselves and find your own answers. That task must begin with having a strong foundation and a trust in yourself. I offer this post about laying your foundation to all those wishing direction on how to do this and then it is up to you to break free and fly alone. In order to face today’s truths, we require a strong foundation to stand upon and a strong sense of self and an unwavering trust in ourselves. For a very long time now we have been taught to listen to the Government and forget about ourselves. Now is the time to reverse that process and listen to yourselves and forget what the Government has to say. If you have a strong foundation you can withstand all the violent storms that beat against you and threaten to bring you down. So how does one build that strong foundation for security?

John Ward – Global Looting: Why We Are Very Close To Guns & Hoses – 18 October 2013

I felt both vindicated and depressed yesterday when an American Slogger sent me this piece from Pater Tenebrarum, better known to many of you as as Acting Man. It appeared the day after my ‘exclusive’ on the IMF Lets Steal Ten Percent smoking gun document. It was exclusive to the extent that nobody else had written about it, although I now learn it had been published ten days previously. The fact that nobody noticed it may have something to do with its mysterious absence from the IMF’s website. You never know.
