Steadygain's Groove and Trip Pad

[Steadygain]

Good to see you writing again. I think it focuses you and it is therapuetic for a lot of us.

Thank you Frixxxx ~~ but it's not as easy as it sounds. It's very much like writting a song (both playing the music and the lyrics that flow with it).

In the right frame of mind it flows -- it's very natural and it usually comes out very beautiful.

Yesterday ~~ somehow Birch's comment about me being a 'romantic' simply sparked a beautiful story .....

...writting off the top of my head .... I could see the scenery and all like I was there and made a trail with a wide variety of stops .... with the flowers lining the trail and all the more making the stops extra beautiful.

...it's kind of funny because I had the people too -- what the guy and girl looked like and could see the transition from one place to the next .... and how it got better and better......

It didn't stand out that I was writting in the first person --( I and You) because it was simply characters filling scenes ... it was a natural flow...

Today when I read over it ---- It was disasterous -- I mean honestly I'm like this isn't a story ........ it's a letter or an autobiography ... and from that perspective it just shattered everything ... none of it flowed and it no longer made any sense.

So .... sorry ... my friend ... I lost what was there and it's strange but I don't see it taking off.

Maybe something else sometime later --

But I really appreciate your support !! Thank You !!!!


Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy !

The Road Not Taken
by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Steady, I feel you are at a point where this might refresh you. I also feel you are out of sorts with the current events and the interpretations you see being slung about.

Have faith, for there are more meaningful things in life! Come back to your G&T Pad. Hang out, deep breaths, and long meaningful thoughts. Center yourself and find your balance.

Take a new road and find your Shangri-La!

Frixxxx my brother -- Thank you !!

I have decided to 'Retire' from this Site my good friend and was simply waiting for the right moment. I knew when it came I would know and I believe it has happened. But it's possible it's 'Temporary'

I'm not out of sorts at all -- was mainly worried about Lady and began to deeply fear something traggic had happended and kind of pictured her in a hospital and at the end. Other than that everything else was 'Very Good'. Then she came back and I haven't seen her that happy in ages. The way she talked to Squale, CB, Buster ... was like so beautiful ... that's what I want to remember Frixxxx.

Birch is doing great -- and so are you and all the others -- the Markets are soaring and it's the 'Perfect Ending' for me.

The 'current events' and interpretations honestly mean nothing to me at all my friend -- and that's all I meant in my last message. I know the circumstances ongoing in the world today are extremely frustrating and the population at large should be upset and crying out against the injustices. I simply realize that acquistions and mergers are currently at play with $900 Billion being interchanged to make the powerful even more powerful and that the major underlying problem are not the weak puppets in Political positions ~~ but the Industries and Corporations that fuel Corruption and force the population at large to live as they do. In my heart of hearts I deeply realize that any other man or woman as President at the exact same time Obama became President would equally have the population ranting and raving. Somehow people simply can not let go of the HOPE that this person may be the ONE to change things.

So -- please know -- I am not mad or bothered by anyone's Political View -- it's simply something that no longer interests me. I have seen the exact same complaints throughout my life with basically every Administration -- and all the more have recognized that all other Nations at any given period of history pretty much experience the same thing difficulties -- if not worse.

So for me -- it's different Frixxxx -- because I don't see any Politician ever being able to even remotely stand against the Industries and Corporations that keep LIFE as it is. The foundation by which everything is in place is way beyond any one of them and it's simply not an issue for me to dwell on.

Frixxxx -- I promise it is totally different from how it may appear. I am so much better off than the majority of Americans that it almost makes me feel guilty in comparision. But I am very happy with my TSP and how it goes from one day to the next simply has no bearing on where I am today. Especially compared to the Relationships I've developed here. I've largely retired from Market Timing mainly because I'm comfortable and my life is very blessed and I'm content with everything.

So I want to leave with 'Good Memories' Frixxxx - at a time I can choose -- that I can FREEZE and remember.

WORK -- has forced most of this on me. I work way harder than all those around me. Get up by 5:30 am and been getting home after 8 at night. So a lot of it is I'm simply in a crunch.

Anyway -- everything is good Frixxxx -- it's very good !!!

Hope all is well with everyone here.

Come back often Steady. Your presence here will be missed.

 

[Steadygain]

Come back often Steady. Your presence here will be missed.

Thanks VLM !! I hadn't thought about this place but got this:

If you could choose any country in the world to visit-just for fun, charitable work all aside, where would you want to go? why would you want to visit that particular country? how long would you stay-ideally? would you want to pick a central location and do day trips or would you want to keep moving and stay in a new place? would you be most interested in exploring a city or exploring rural countryside? History? art? architecture? cuisine? landscapes, everyday life talking with the people?

Well -- something like this would most certainly require a Thread like this.

OK -- There are 2 places I would most want to visit -- and both are countries within a Country.

1. A place called WELSH -- somewhere in the USA. This is a small town that lost their Grocery Store -- due to the Financial Crisis. The people in the Town decided to 'BUY' the Grocery Store as a TOWN and LIVE in such a way -- that they work together and make things work. So the people throughout the Area -- buy stock in the Store and every penny they spend on Groceries -- goes to pay off any debt and to upgrage the TOWN itself.

They are NOT looking for any 'hand outs' from the Government and they are not in any manner trying to make 'some politician' play his 'good ferry' game of garbage. Instead -- they as a people said this is our town and we 'as a people' are going to make it work.

I would want to STAY -- and live in an area like that. Would genuinely LONG to mingle and interact with a community that lives this way and support them with all I have. I BELIEVE an environment like that would be way beyond any place I've ever known so far. Friendships and Relationships would likely be far above and beyond what most other communities have ever known.

The Second Choice (or First) is Berma (spelling??) in CHINA. This is the only community I know of on the whole Planet that is driven by what they call 'Gross National Happiness'. All they represent is wholly Native American -- in that living in Harmony with Nature and doing all things possible to work with and compliment the Health and Sacred Aspects of Nature (in all ways) is the grounding by which their Society is Based. They are the Ultimate Examples of Preserving the Earth. (Budda is their Religion) -- but What they deeply live for and all they as a Society Stive for - to me - is the ULTIMATE real life example of what I believe GOD desires. They don't live for money; they refuse to let modernization and everything we (and the rest of the world knows) - destroy their TRUE hertitage. They are incredibly HAPPY -- and it's community wide. Would love to be a part of that and do all things possible to keep it florishing. Would not want to 'Change' them at all -- but would very much want them to see and know the LOVE of GOD through Jesus Christ -- and let that LOVE all the more be the Foundation of what they already have.

I guess I would go with the intention of staying as long as it took and would not be in any hurry to leave -- wherever I went. In WELSH it would be more the bonding with everyday people I already know -- in that 'we are Americans' and it would be very easy to fit in. BUT I would be going to really be an active member of the community and enjoy the relationships -- feeling a deep pride of truely owning the town and working with it.

Burma -- would be way more a challenge -- in that I am wholly a 'foreigner' and it would take some time to honestly blend in and be an equal -- wholly included as a part of their community. I would have no problem blending in with the Budda Way of regarding the Earth and fostering the lifestyle they have ~~ so I deeply believe I would FIRST have to strive with everything to show them how deeply I admire who they are and what they stand for - then (and only then) do I believe the Life and Love of Christ may be equally accepted by them. BUT as a 'Culture' and all they represent -- I would want to preserve.

city or exploring rural countryside? Cities are largely the same no matter where you are -- so only to briefly check it out. Rural countryside is way more for me in general.

History? YES -- that's huge to me. So many places around the world would be wonderful (to absorb and appreciate).

art? YES -- in a wide variety of ways -- very much into it.

architecture? Absolutely -- am fascinated by it -- many different styles - buildings - churches - catherals - bridges

cuisine? I feel without it you can't really know what the place is like; would make an exception in Russia as most of their food deeply lacks the flavor and foods I enjoy.

landscapes, To me that is pretty much the Ultimate

everyday life talking with the people? YES -- that is very important to me -- so I would rather travel throughout Germany, Austria, Switerland, Italy -- the way I did -- 'going from place to place and renting rooms (Zimmer free) when 'we' arrived wherever we decided to stay -- BECAUSE honestly spending some time with the people and enjoying their genuine hospitality was everybit as much rewarding as the beautiful sights.

Those were 'Perfect' Questions !!

Thank you so much for the wonderful break !!

Steady to Bluehenge: “So put that in your pipe and smoke it. “…

While smoking my pipe…deep in thought…I found myself wondering about this ‘being’ called Steady.

Burrocrat says Steady’s “True Colors” are ‘like a rainbow’ and Birchtree apparently thinks Steady is ‘romantic’. That isn’t bad I thought. I took a look around the MB and found this thread temporarily abandoned by Steady. I saw Frixxxx had not long left an inspirational poem plus an invitation for Steady to drop by his thread anytime and I saw that Viva La Migra missed Jimi.

Hmmm, I thought…
“This place could do with a woman’s touch here and there” I thought some more… (what Steady gave me for my pipe was good) “Perhaps a picture would look nice and more time will be spent here”.

Jimi: “Well you might want to think twice about that honey pie cause the G&TP can be a mighty dangerous place ~ especially for women ~ and all the more 'Women with class and style' ~ that are witty and fun ~ that seem to jive”. :toung:

 

[Bluehenge]

I did some research on the G&TP…

It's called the "Groove and Trip" pad - because there is no other place on Earth where you can more groove with your inner self and trip out on any and every environment imaginable. You've tested it hundreds of times before. The computer knows exactly what you're thinking and is able to create any possible environment imaginable and follow your thoughts in real time. The days of having to wear the Virtual Reality Glasses and the VR Body Suit have long disappeared. In this room you are in the Real To Life environment of your mind and everything in here is as real as anything you've ever experienced outside of my pad. Of course my pad has a huge advantage - in that it knows precisely what environment makes you the most comfortable to let you Groove and help you Trip.

What’s so dangerous about that? I thought…

“I am Bluehenge. I am not afraid.”

Poles north and south. Magnetic current and cosmic forces. A sixth sense. The power? Who knows but, I have a picture to hang and a pipe to pass so, I will take a trip…

 

[Bluehenge]

In tune with the subtle energies of the Earth and its grid pattern I gradually worked my way north-east to a place giving off positive energy.

Working with breathing exercises I energized internal chakras and opened an inflow of external energies from all of nature – Earth, Sun, Moon, stars, wind, clouds, birds – into my body. An enchanting power united the sacred site forces with my energies.

For a moment I took in the panoramic view; far in the distance the dim dark outline of jagged tors, and away to the south the sea, glittering in the afternoon sunlight. With nothing to disturb the silence the immediate feeling of complete peace and well-being came as no surprise and I was ready to start my adventure.

 

[Bluehenge]

I begin to stare down the center of the rabbit hole…

I stare until I see an aura…

[Bluehenge]

I arrive in the most amazing garden I can imagine. Using all senses I soak in the new surroundings. I look about, for I will soon be moving forward and I will need to know if something has changed upon my return. I listen, for looks alone can often be deceiving. I feel the terrain and the beating of my heart to ensure I know I can run if a challenge arises. I smell and taste the air for further information. All of these basic senses heighten my most special sense…my sixth sense of intuition that will provide me with the right mind, concentration and view. Effectively soaked, I am now no longer a separate entity but, am a part of everything. Ready to interact on my own terms with all that surrounds I listen to some sounds close by before moving on…

 

[Bluehenge]

Like a child -- totally innocent and free -- your spirit is immediately transformed into another world ~ where you have absolutely no ties, no qualms, no restraints, no boundaries or limits...


You're drifting peacefully -- happily in a world where essentially everything is perfect and nothing is restraining you in any manner -- you have a freedom way beyond anything you've ever experienced in this world.

You're moving along -- somehow like a rocket soaring through space....

....Bubbles are rising from somewhere underneath .... millions and millions of bubbles ... that keep you afloat and yet are constantly popping ... causing contant feelings of wonderful little magical massages ....

...from above are the showflakes of light ... constantly covering you with warmth and delight .....

 

[Bluehenge]

The light begins to fade and I know it’s time to return home.

A fountain complete with moon pond appears and I know that is where to leave my picture. The pond is used as a wishing well and Steady will collect its offerings.

I place the picture by the fountain and the pipe beside some kava and start my journey home…

 

[Bluehenge]

I pass three benches that each face different directions. Jimi must use them at different times of the day. Perhaps a swivel chair would go nice here. But, that would have to be done another day. Here within the garden the path has ended. It will never be destroyed for it is unlike a building and it will always point the way as long as we remember how to follow.

 

[Bluehenge]

At the very place I started my adventure I look into the dark and see myself sleeping on the other side. I call, “Bluehenge, wake up!” and gradually awake from the dream. As I go I notice a violet placed beside me. I pick it and …

 

[Bluehenge]

Then I hear:

A candy-colored clown they call the sandman
Tiptoes to my room every night
Just to sprinkle stardust and to whisper
Go to sleep. Everything is all right.

I close my eyes, Then I drift away
Into the magic night. I softly say
A silent prayerLike dreamers do.
Then I fall asleep to dream My dreams of you.

In dreams I walk with you.
In dreams I talk to you.
In dreams you're mine.
All of the time we're together
In dreams, In dreams.

But just before the dawn, I awake and find you gone.
I can't help it, I can't help it, if I cry.
I remember that you said goodbye.
It's too bad that all these things, Can only happen in my dreams

Only in dreams In beautiful dreams.

Love from Blue

 

[Steadygain]

At the very place I started my adventure I look into the dark and see myself sleeping on the other side. I call, “Bluehenge, wake up!” and gradually awake from the dream. As I go I notice a violet placed beside me. I pick it and …

..it was at this moment the transformation began.

It is one thing knowing we are made of billions of cells .. assembled together into various organs ... as a collective whole..

...but to feel each cell come to life ... a life of its own .. with its own identity making itself wonderfully known and coming to the freedom and acknowledgement of discovering a Universe within itself ...

....that is the only way I can describe what happened the moment I picked the violet.

For in reality the violet was 'The KEY' and everything up to that moment had merely set the stage.

So in that moment ~~ which felt like an eternity of eons ~~ I was totally aware of how the Universe itself came into being ~~ as every cell has spread into its own demension and every little particle had come to life ~ and what an incredibly amazing life it offered.

Only in this 'moment' and throughout this transformation could I (or any human) remotely know the mind of GOD. For somehow my mind surrounded the Universe and everything throughout I knew with the deepest and most thorough intimacy -- because everything little aspect was a part of my being.

My cells had transformed into billions of stars and galaxies and it was a moment of awe - an inspiration that went lightyears beyond any I'd ever experienced. Its beauty was perfect and pureness took on a whole new defination ~ a meaning unlike anything a person could know apart from this experience. For here every cell glowed in warmth and radiated light and life -- which spread from one cell to the next - and this happened everywhere throughout the entire Universe.

With each passing moment the cells grew brighter and when it felt I had reached the limits ~~ that I could surely not expand any further without somehow bursting ~~ that's when I heard his music ~~ softly in the distance ~~ but heavy and with the distinctive distortion and sounds that Jimi alone has ever provided.

Somehow this music kept the cells from bursting and allowed them to grow brighter and with such incredible intensity. It was like I had come to know LIFE in the fullest possible measure and there was nothing hidden ~ yet more than that ~~ everything was known with such immense clarity and fullness ~~ it made my awareness a million times more perceptable.

At the absolute maximum peak -- I felt the change as his cells blended with mine - and my identity and in fact the entire Universe was blending into something far beyond what any one person could ever possess -- and with these changes colors began to grow and burst ~~ a living tapestry ~ our lives creating a beauty unlike anything I'd ever known and far beyond what any mere person could even remotely appreciate.

The picture posted below -- is the closest image I could find that in any manner bears resemblence to what I lived and felt.

 

[Steadygain]

Dear friends,
I tell you that to see these colors ~~ no matter how deeply you allow yourself to be drawn into them -- no matter how fully you mediatate and become lost in this world....

There is simply no way you can even begin to imagine what it was like without 'Living it' ~~ without experienceing everything on the level of that moment ~ for in that moment all things hidden became perfectly known and all mysteries were revealed.

For everything throughout the entire Universe -- all stars, planets, moons, and everything 'seen' represents only 4% of the Universe itself. Everything else -- in this rapidly expanding Universe is known as either 'Dark Matter' or 'Dark Energy'. In the end we have realized our understanding of the Universe was totally distorted and Wrong -- because we as a society have always focused on what was seen and everything stemmed from this markedly limited 4%.

It was during the transformation -- that everything became known and for the first time -- I could see the hidden was not 'Dark' but very much like the picture here. The colors themselves were the life sustaining elements that gave all Mass its purpose and function; that held it in place and provided the rhythm by which everything moves. The more I pondered on all the Universe contained -- is all the more the Stars and Galaxies and Planets and all other things took on a beauty and depth that far exceeded anything I'd know before. To say I was in awe -- is an understatement -- I was overwhelmed; so lost in the beauty and so absorbed in all the True Universe beheld -- that I didn't hear Jimi. I couldn't hear him because all my senses were maxed out ~~ in the realization that the entire Universe was my very being -- the essense of my existence -- stretched out like never before.

 

[Birchtree]

Is this a level 3 LSD trip?
