Sophia Love – Love Quest : Day 5 – What You Have To Lose – 12 February 2014

Sophia Love

Yes, you’ll have to lose something.  This thing you’ve got a death grip on is yours alone.  We can’t see or imagine it and you’ve never told a soul.  So sure are you that it’s all you need to set things right, that you carry its image with you always.

It’s not a photograph.  No, this is not a real life image.  This is your IF image.  IF I did this, IF I looked like this, IF I were this, IF I achieved this, IF I had this – then I’d love me.  Then you’d love me.  Then the world would love me. Enough.

Your IF image has been carefully crafted.  It’s perfect down to the last detail.  You’ve thought of everything.  This way, you’ll know when you arrive.  Oh, what a glorious day that’ll be!

Lucas – On My Own – Seeing The View – Change Is Now Happening – 12 February 2014

By Felix Burton via Flickr

Sometimes things go deep in your own flesh and spirit. The conscious knowing you can and are willing to lose everything for a new world that is build on strong stones carry the weight. We all are that rock, that foundation to make the build stand strong.

For me though it is sometimes difficult  to see, in working behind and in front the scenes in service to all, even with the perceptions and judgements about your views and keeping the center, that things can be harsh on you. Still I know all will somehow be alright even when it can be feeling lonely in doing the mission.

“We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.” 
– Albert Einstein

Ha, I love this quote! And like everything that makes me laugh, it’s rooted in truth. After all, how could anything that’s been used to recycle old data even be expected to have “personality?”

Yet we’ve been using “3rd dimensional brain muscles” (which categorize all of our experiences, while filtering out all that do not fit into its “already known” categories) as the source of our intellect (which is defined as “the ability to think, reason, and learn”)– for aeons. Therefore, recycling the past into various repeating patterns in the present has been our illusionary and limited way of perceiving “reality!”

RemovingTheShackles – Bank Tests, SS Closed In USA And Australia: This Weekend – 12 February 2014

Earlier last week I wrote about “The “Debt Ceiling” aka: “special manouvers” of the Fed… I mean, “Treasury” ”  In the article I reviewed a few previous articles that have all been relevant to this moment and what seems to be the groundhog day template that we keep seeing over and over again.

Specifically I talked about the Debt Ceiling “Crisis” and about the coming banking closures due to “testing the system”.   These bank closures are purported to be taking place on Feb 15-16- this coming weekend.   At the moment I was writing that article, Jack Lew had announced that the Treasury was going to be in serious trouble if the debt ceiling wasn’t “raised” by Feb 27th….

John Ward – Exposed: Why UKip & Coalition Ignoring Slog Taunts On Somerset…Tories Voted Against Flood Defences, Farage Didn’t Turn Up – 12 February 2014

Oh dear oh dear, but nobody is coming out of this Somerset Levels scandal at all well, are they? Breaking this morning was the news that, in the European Parliament, when British Tory MEPs had the chance, they voted overwhelmingly AGAINST maintaining Somerset’s flood defences. And Noah Farage himself was so passionate about retaining prime farming land, he er went down the brasserie with a few mates for a couple of jars and some jolly haw-haw-haw.
