			<link rel="alternate" href="https://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?id=6480&amp;action=new" />
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Fringe means to me, not fit for immediate digestion. Maybe for some, starting young enough or possessing an old enough soul is their headstart.<br />NR has been antacid for the soul. Unfortunately there will be a few who never stumble upon such medicine. Their aches may fester, or they may decide never to eat of the Fringe again. Hopefully it won&#039;t cost them a return trip, spiritually speaking.</p><p>Fringe is one of those words I don&#039;t think I&#039;ve ever used in actual discussion with friends, regarding the esoteric. I think that&#039;s because using a word like that belittles the truer meaning. </p><p>As in, this is knowledge we have always had. We are only calling upon whatever sources are available to help us assimilate, or digest and integrate truth in our own lives. So Fringe implies that this is new info, and is to be reacted upon as &quot;shocking&quot; and &quot;controversial!&quot; by our once, blinded-by-conditioning selves. I&#039;ve learned that the faster one can treat this as &quot;normal, accepted&quot; knowledge, the faster one can integrate it. </p><p>This does not mean you need to understand every bit of it instantly. And it may mean starting from the ground up. That, is in my opinion the #1 aversion most intelligent people have in pursuing ideas that tug at them. They know that once you have been forced to discard one significant distruth, there are probably many more distortions at least. But it&#039;s not enough for them to want to &quot;burn the house down&quot;, because the one they live in may have some flaws, some quirks, but it is somewhat familiar and comfortable. </p><p>That is, until that cheaply made abode begins to crumble. We ignore the little things. Doors falling off hinges. Eh, put a bedsheet up, we&#039;ll fix that later.<br />Finally the foundation cracks, now this home is unsuitable for living in. </p><p>At that point we need to make a decision. Expend vast amounts of money and time in attempt to get the house back to the shape it was. Knowing that for all the effort, it may never be better than the original. </p><p>Or, knock it down, all the way to fresh soil, and spend substantially more time and energy. Knowing if that option is taken, we may fully customize it. </p><p>That&#039;s right. You&#039;re the architect, foreman, laborer, and interior decorator if you choose it. One hell of a project. But the accomplishment of multiple lifetimes.</p><p>Our choices on WHERE we may build may be limited. Seems like SOMEONE owns every last parcel (intellectual property, belief systems etc.) but how we build is of our own freewill. </p><p> Fringe in a sane world would be the accepted norm, of course. The word itself is useful, to a point. I&#039;m not bashing the term, but maybe too many of us let it carry that label for too long. It serves to separate and isolate somewhat, which in the beginning stages of digestion, is alright. </p><p>You know what they say, &quot;no swimming &#039;til 45 minutes after you&#039;ve eaten&quot;</p><p>After that, it is probably wise to get up and move. </p><p>If it sounds like I&#039;m preaching here, I don&#039;t mean to. I am trying to give the best advice I can think to give the newbies. And use it myself as a reminder, because I seldom take my own.</p><p>You are fully capable of &quot;blending in&quot; wherever you are not comfortable in dispensing various information. No one expects you to become an overnight activist or anything, unless that is your calling. Most of us know what happens to protesters nowadays. </p><p>If the benefit outweighs the risk, is one thing I have always asked myself. If I didn&#039;t think the benefits outweighed the risks, I never would have made it as far as NR. I was attracted to the Fringe <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/wink.png" width="15" height="15" alt="wink" /> &quot;didn&#039;t I just tell you not to use that word!&quot; -- And forever grateful.</p><p> Chime in?</p><p> J</p>]]></summary>

			<title type="html"><![CDATA[What I have learned since coming to Noble Realms]]></title>
			<link rel="alternate" href="https://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?id=6475&amp;action=new" />
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I thought I would share in the final moments of NR as many things as I could from my journey over the last 3 years.&nbsp; I started my journey as a scientific Athiest and through the verfication of the existence of Extra Terrestrials began to discover that the most likely truth to reality is that much of what we are taught is false, and that this is done on purpose and not as an accident.&nbsp; The main reason for this to happen is to control us through our largest weakness, our minds.&nbsp; On top of simple false beliefs we also contain programming which are conditioned responses to certain events and stimuli that hinder our spiritual progress.&nbsp; This is done because there is some &quot;entity&quot; that has a vastly greater intelligence than us that is ruling us here, and we are producing some sort of valuable resource for it.&nbsp; It does not have physical control over us, and it does not even have a mental control over us.&nbsp; It only has the power to deceive us, and with its vastly greater intelligence it has engineered a web of deception to keep us from achieving any level of awareness that would allow us to break the mental bonds it has on us.&nbsp; Imagine it as a spider and its web is things like circular logics, self aggrandizement, and an endless desire for conflict with other selves here.&nbsp; It also has some ablity to manipulate my thinking.&nbsp; Regardless of what the cause of this manipulation of my thoughts, I find it is important to identify what things inside me trigger anger towards others, deep depressions, confusions, any feelings of hopelessness and cut those thoughts or actions off before they lead to their negative consequences.&nbsp; </p><p>It has become slightly easier to deal with the constant self imposed negativity I experience in my life once I realized that this is programmed response from the system that was put there to derail any striving towards progress that I might attempt.&nbsp; </p><p>I am personally striving to attain a 4th Density level consciousness.&nbsp; If you don&#039;t know what this is do some research on the &quot;Ra&quot; material or the Cassiopean material.&nbsp; It seems to me that 4th Density consciousness has to do with increasing our awareness, specifically of the &quot;mind&quot;&nbsp; I use mind for the soul mind, or the god mind, that is not limited in power or complexity as is the brain.&nbsp; This leads back to the mysterious them who decieve us.&nbsp; They have taught us to think with the brain and not the &quot;mind&quot; as the brain is limited in ability and capability, and is infinitely easier to controll.&nbsp; The brain gives thoughts of vengance, jealousy, anger, and many other programmed emotional responses.&nbsp; It is important that you not try to shut off the brain, or other emotions, but rather as Ekhart Tolle describes to learn to let them exist but not to react to them.&nbsp; Just as if you are walking down the street and someone is shouting at you, you don&#039;t have to stop and react, you can continue to walk.&nbsp; If you shut the shouting person out of your awareness then you become susceptable to attack by them.&nbsp; </p><p>To expand consciousness, it seems that one of the things that can be done of great importance is to focus intently.&nbsp; The longer one can focus and the more energy that can be applied to this focus the greater power one has in this place or any.&nbsp; If one can apply focus for long periods with great periods and without succumbing to distraction, then they can accomplish whatever it is they set there minds too.&nbsp; After all, the main modes of the controllers are to confuse, distract, misinform, deceive etc, and focus is a good way to become invulnerable to these attacks.</p><p>It is very important not to fall into negativity.&nbsp; It is okay for me to focus on the many negative things that are true to reality and are common to the fringe literature, but for me negative concepts must be addressed as one would address a homeless person on the street.&nbsp; It is okay to aknowledge that they are there and be aware of their poor condition, but to stop and try to take care of every homeless person on the street is a never ending task.&nbsp; Likewise to allow yourself to feel pity for them will drain your emotional energies.&nbsp; It is ok to allow fleeting emotional connection with their plight, but to dwell on their condition will drain you.&nbsp; So unless you plan on doing something to help their condition it is unwise to allow yourself to become emotionally attached.&nbsp; There are multitudes of negative things in reality and when I allowed myself to connect emotionally to these things it drug me down energetically.&nbsp; I felt depression and despair at the &quot;hopelessness&quot; of the situation.&nbsp; I tried to go back into ignorance to forget about the negativities of reality, but that left me with a nagging feeling that I was missing something, in this case I was ignoring the true nature of reality.&nbsp; This was an important find for me, and hopefully it will help anyone else who is feeling down when discovering the true nature of reality.&nbsp; &nbsp;</p><p>Another way to connect to the etheric is to use the imagination.&nbsp; The imagination is a doorway to the etheric.&nbsp; That is why guided meditation is very helpful.&nbsp; Reading fiction books is a very good way to expand your awareness because it both exercise the imagination, and helps practice focused awareness.&nbsp; </p><p>A great way to clear my head is to try not to think.&nbsp; If I try to force myself to think then it does not work.&nbsp; The technique that seems to clear my mind that works the best is to not follow thoughts.&nbsp; I think it is a common meditation technique.&nbsp; Thoughts will always arise in my mind, and trying to stop all thoughts is futile, but to practice bringing my focus away from thoughts that arise will eventually cause distracting thoughts to stop arising.&nbsp; It is a very good focusing technique to improve concentration and even improve thinking.&nbsp; If your interested more specifically in this type of thing, Ekhart Tolle describes it in better detail in &quot;The power of now&quot;.&nbsp; </p><p>Got to go for now, more to come.&nbsp; Below are personal notes until I polish this up a little better.</p><br /><p>The mind</p><p>Beings in your mind</p><p>Emotions</p><p>non physicality</p><p>Beliefs</p><p>Dreams</p><p>Third Eye</p><p>Action</p><p>The wave may be us</p>]]></summary>

			<title type="html"><![CDATA[Imagination]]></title>
			<link rel="alternate" href="https://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?id=6251&amp;action=new" />
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I think the main problem with society is that we have lost imagination.&nbsp; I believe that it might be true that imagination is what infinity is, and thereby by disconnecting us from the ability to imagine, we lose our connection to infinite at the same time.&nbsp; Psychic phenomena, and imagination are synonymous bringing forwards the paradox that psychic phenomena are figments of our imagination and in reality true, because what is imagined must be understood as real on some level.&nbsp; It is true that a being seen in the imagination is both imagined and real.&nbsp; We have put to much limitation on what reality is explaining it only as what can be seen, tasted, touched and felt.&nbsp; It you want to develop psychically you must therefore develop your imagination.&nbsp; I believe it is also true that one must understand and remember the difference between imagined reality and physical reality.&nbsp; To lose the ability to understand the differnce between the two causes people to believe they can do things in physical reality that they cannot because they are able to do it in imagined reality.&nbsp; An action in imagined reality is impermanent although it builds an intention and alters someones personality, but an action in reality has permanent consequences that must be dealt with for the remainder of a life time.&nbsp; So physical reality requires much more responsibility from an individual then imagined reality.&nbsp; My understanding of the reason I am here in physical reality is that it is a catalyst for development.&nbsp; In imagined reality anything you want (with no limits) can be imagined into existence, but in physical reality work, time, and effort must be applied to accomplish the same thing that happens in imagined reality.&nbsp; Imagined reality has the tendancy to be like a&nbsp; permanent vacation, and just as in a real vacation people are usually not productive during a vacation.&nbsp; If I was productive in imaginary reality there would not have been the need for me to come here and experience the a catalyst of physical reality as a stimulus to become productive in order to return to the true infinite wonder of the imagined reality.&nbsp; </p><p>I don&#039;t like the word productive though as it has gained a negative connotation for me by its association with the work that I have done in my life.&nbsp; Productivity in this system on earth is actually destructive because it is driven sole for the purpose of self interest.&nbsp; Productivity to make the universe and infinity a more stimulating and wondrous place is the productivity that I am talking about.&nbsp; This leads well into why we are in this self destructive mindset.&nbsp; It is through the imagination that everything that a humans or consciousness in general, has ever created began.&nbsp; And thus to control the minds of humans and what they produce you must control their imagination.&nbsp; Individuals cannot be allowed to use, or connect to the imagination because they will think of things to do that are not what you want them to do.&nbsp; To control people you must supply them with their thoughts, hence what we see in the papers, and on the television.&nbsp; The purpose of these things on a higher level is to control our imagination, and thus turn us into workers for mind of the system.&nbsp; Taking away our imaginations though disconnects us from the psychic nature of infinite.&nbsp; If we were allowed to connect to infinite through the imagination, or psychic connection to infinite, then we would see through the bullshit that the system feeds us in the artificially created imagination of the system (computers, televisions, written media&#039;s).&nbsp; It is the psychic, or ability to imagine that allows us to understand the negative implications of our actions on infinite, and therefore intentionally or not, due to our 3rd eye blindness we are left unable to see the stupidity of our actions.&nbsp; Another thing is that I believe it nearly impossible for someone to become bored when they are connected fully to their imagination, and you can therefore simultaneously do the most mundane, yet productive task, and be infinitely happy with it.&nbsp; There is no want when connected to the imagination because everything you could ever want can instantly manifest.&nbsp; So the only way to make a healthy system is to open up the imagination of all the consciousness and create a society that everyones open imagination will accept.&nbsp; Ideas cannot be accepted by being told to accept them, they must be accepted because the individual both understands the idea, and personally agrees with it.&nbsp; </p><p>I came across this thought because I was desperately bored today and was searching for stimulation from the machine, in the form of some sort of media that could feed me knowledge, societal perspective and humor.&nbsp; However as I have come to realize the harms of the media from the system, I decided instead to practice mediation, which always seems to turn instead into deep introspective contemplations.&nbsp; Regardless I was practicing intention by imagining what it was that I wanted in life and I realized that the more I connected with my ability to expand my conscious and imagine things the more intelligent I became, and the easier it was to understand things.&nbsp; It is my present understanding currently that god/infinite is in fact an imagination and therefore to connect to God I need to learn to imagine.&nbsp; Imagination without structure becomes stagnant, structure without imagination becomes destructive and ends up destroying itself.&nbsp; I think it may be possible that the two are polar opposites that represent a yin yang type idealogy.&nbsp; Balance between the two will lead individuals away from a path of growth.&nbsp; </p><p>So I think an answer to those looking to break free from the system, stop letting the system imagine for you and learn to imagine yourself.&nbsp; </p><p>Imagination was lost here because those with an open third eye became lazy and did not devote enough time to self betterment.&nbsp; This allowed them to become weaker then the structure of the system and susceptible to annihilation by it.&nbsp; A responsible and productive society could never be defeated because it is operating with the collective imagination of a mass of individuals countless times more powerful then the limited imagination of a few leaders who instead try to impose their imagination on the subjects.&nbsp; So my current answer to how to regain our connection to GOD/Infinite, learn to imagine to your fullest be productive towards what your imagination feels is right.&nbsp; It is required that the two operate in unison if we are to ever improve the current state of human existence on this planet.</p><div class="quotebox"><cite>Einstien wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>Imagination is more important than knowledge...</p></blockquote></div>]]></summary>

			<title type="html"><![CDATA[G. Edward Griffin]]></title>
			<link rel="alternate" href="https://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?id=6171&amp;action=new" />
			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Here is an excellent talk by G. Edward Griffin called &quot;Freedom Force&quot;:<br /><a href="http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6015291679758430958">Source</a></p><p>[googlevid]6015291679758430958[/googlevid]</p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p><em>The Creed of Freedom</em><br />G. Edward Griffin</p><p>Introduction</p><p>There is nothing more common in history than for oppressed people to rise up against their masters and, at great cost in treasure and blood, throw off the old regime, only to discover that they have replaced it with one that is just as bad or worse. That is because it is easy to know what we dislike about a political system but not so easy to agree on what would be better. For most of history, it has been the habit of men to focus on personalities rather than principles. They have thought that the problem was with the man who rules, not with the system that sustains him. So, they merely replace one despot for another, thinking that, somehow, the new one will be more wise and benevolent. Even if the new ruler has good intentions, he may be corrupted by the temptations of power; and, in those rare cases where he is not, he eventually is replaced by another who is not as self-restrained. As long as the system allows it, it is just a matter of time before a new despot will rise to power. To prevent that from happening, it is necessary to focus on the system itself, not on personalities. To do that, it is just as important to know what we are for as it is to know what we are against.</p><p>Even today, with so much talk about fighting to defend freedom, who can stand up and define what that means? For some, freedom means merely not being in jail. Who can define the essence of personal liberty? Who can look you in the eye and say: &quot;This I believe, and I believe it for this reason and this reason and this reason also.&quot; The world is dying for something to believe in, a statement of principles that leaves no room for misunderstanding; a creed that everyone of good faith toward their fellow human beings can accept with clarity of mind and strength of resolve. There is an old saying that if you don&#039;t stand for something, you&#039;ll fall for anything. The Creed of Freedom that you are about to read is the rock-solid ground that will allow us to stand firm against all the political nostrums of our day, and those in the future as well.</p><p>The Creed of Freedom expresses the core ideology that binds all members together. This is not like the platform of a political party that typically is a position statement on a long list of specific issues and which changes from year to year to accommodate the shifting winds of popular opinion. Instead, it is stated in terms of broad principles that do not change over time and that are not focused on specific issues at all. If these principles are followed, then most of the vexing political and social issues of the day can be quickly resolved in confidence that the resulting action will be consistent with justice and freedom.</p><p>Although I have authored the Creed, I cannot claim credit for it. Anyone familiar with the classical treatises on freedom will recognize that most of its concepts have been taken from the great thinkers and writers of the past. My role has been merely to read the literature, identify the concepts, organize them into logical sequence, and condense them into a single page.</p><p>When you read the Creed, please be aware that it is a summary of a much longer dissertation. It cannot be fully appreciated until after reading the explanations, definitions, and arguments to support it. Although the Creed appears here first, it is recommended that, after reading it, you follow the link at the bottom of this section that takes you to the more complete explanation.</p><p>THE CREED OF FREEDOM</p><p>INTRINSIC NATURE OF RIGHTS<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I believe that only individuals have rights, not the collective group; that these rights are intrinsic to each individual, not granted by the state; for if the state has the power to grant them, it also has the power to deny them, and that is incompatible with personal liberty.<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I believe that a just government derives its power solely from the governed. Therefore, the state must never presume to do anything beyond what individual citizens also have the right to do. Otherwise, the state is a power unto itself and becomes the master instead of the servant of society.</p><p>SUPREMACY OF THE INDIVIDUAL<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I believe that one of the greatest threats to freedom is to allow any group, no matter its numeric superiority, to deny the rights of the minority; and that one of the primary functions of just government is to protect each individual from the greed and passion of the majority.</p><p>FREEDOM OF CHOICE<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I believe that desirable social and economic objectives are better achieved by voluntary action than by coercion of law. I believe that social tranquility and brotherhood are better achieved by tolerance, persuasion, and the power of good example than by coercion of law. I believe that those in need are better served by charity, which is the giving of one&#039;s own money, than by welfare, which is the giving of other people&#039;s money through coercion of law.</p><p>EQUALITY UNDER LAW<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I believe that all citizens should be equal under law, regardless of their national origin, race, religion, gender, education, economic status, life style, or political opinion. Likewise, no class should be given preferential treatment, regardless of the merit or popularity of its cause. To favor one class over another is not equality under law.</p><p>PROPER ROLE OF GOVERNMENT<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;I believe that the proper role of government is negative, not positive; defensive, not aggressive. It is to protect, not to provide; for if the state is granted the power to provide for some, it must also be able to take from others, and once that power is granted, there are those who will seek it for their advantage. It always leads to legalized plunder and loss of freedom. If government is powerful enough to give us everything we want, it is also powerful enough to take from us everything we have. Therefore, the proper function of government is to protect the lives, liberty, and property of its citizens; nothing more. That government is best which governs least.</p><p>THE THREE COMMANDMENTS OF FREEDOM</p><p>The Creed of Freedom is based on five principles. However, in day-to-day application, they can be reduced to just three codes of conduct. I consider them to be The Three Commandments of Freedom:</p><p>INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS<br />Do not sacrifice the rights of any individual or minority for the assumed rights of the group.</p><p>EQUALITY UNDER LAW<br />Do not endorse any law that does not apply to all citizens equally.</p><p>FREEDOM OF CHOICE<br />Do not use coercion for any purpose except to protect human life, liberty, or property.</p><p>Source: <a href="http://www.freedom-force.org">http://www.freedom-force.org</a></p></blockquote></div>]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi there,</p><p>This is my first time on the noble realms forum. I would like to have an inspiring time up here. My look on life was mainly formed by the experiences of Robert Monroe and the thoughts relating to the possibility of biological ascension. </p><p>The last couple of weeks I revived the Robert Monroe-concept of loosh again. I am trying to integrate it into my current reality-perspective and I tried to do it with a small fantasy tool this time.</p><p>Back in 2004/2005 there has already been a topic on loosh at <a href="http://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?id=1064">http://forum.noblerealms.org/viewtopic.php?id=1064</a></p><p>I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Here it is:</p><p><strong><span class="bbu">A BALL WITH A FLU</span></strong></p><p><strong>SARAH</strong><br />Sarah was a little girl when she realized that there was something strange about the world. People were going everywhere, doing this, doing that and then eventually they would die. Like many other people she started to wonder what could be behind all this. She felt as if some part of her knew that there was more to this world than was apparent to the eyes.</p><p>On her tenth anniversary she received a small booklet from a niece. The booklet was all about the power of imagination: how you could use your mind to create worlds upon worlds. Sarah was thrilled and she started to experiment with the information from the booklet as soon as everybody had left from her little birthday party.</p><p>She read that her powers of imagination would be at their best just before going to bed and right after awakening. She would gain better results if she refrained from too much disturbing influences from the outside. Her parents soon got a little worried about their daughter when she would desire to go to bed early almost every night.</p><p>When she lay in her bed she imagined that she could see why people were here in Earth. And after asking this for a couple of nights something seemed to form in her imagination: she saw clouds coming from people&#039;s heads, ears and even from their belly buttons. She soon picked up this idea and decided to excercise with one of the rules in her booklet: to use different colors. So, she imagined that these clouds would have all kinds of colors: green ones coming from behind, red ones out of the mouth, yellow clouds from the skin and these clouds could take all kinds of forms as well. She made some clouds look like elephants, others like big rabbits and others turned into airplanes or trees.</p><p>After a while she got a bit bored with these clouds and started to ask a new question: what was the use all of these clouds? What did this have to do with the meaning of life?</p><p>The next evening new agents appeared in her imagination: people in different clothes with different colors who would fly and run around with trap nets. These trap nets were able to actually catch the various clouds that were produced by the people. The awkward thing was that nobody noticed these collectors. Sarah imagined that many of these collectors made funny faces and some blew big bubbles with the clouds that they had caught. They were all having a great time together.</p><p><strong>MEETING THE BALL</strong><br />It didn&#039;t take long before Sarah posed some new questions: what were all these collectors doing with these different colored clouds? She suddenly saw the appearance of an elevator. The collectors all stuffed their clouds in that elevator and after they closed it, it vanished, only to return empty a few seconds later. Sarah was curious and she decided to enter the elevator herself. Somehow the collectors were too busy to notice her and when she saw the elevator doors close she wanted to run out of the elevator, but she was too late.</p><p>When the doors opened again she walked out and was amazed at what she saw: many people were putting the various clouds into all kinds of openings and channels and there was a sense of joy surrounding the place. A man walked towards her and handed her a special suit that he said was necessary to protect her from the high density of clouds. She asked the man who was responsible for all this cloud-processing and the man pointed towards a small house in a tree nearby.</p><p>She didn&#039;t hesitate for a moment and climbed the tree. She knocked on the door and she heard someone say: &#039;Come on in&#039;. She opened the door and the room immediately increased in size. She saw a big shiny ball that was dancing in the waters of a fountain. She raised her eyebrows and asked: who are you? I am the one who started this experiment, the ball answered.</p><p>Would you like to be a ball for a while as well? I could activate another fountain and we could talk in oneness and equality. She didn&#039;t like the sound of that, it reminded her of something that she didn&#039;t trust. The ball smiled and said that it was only joking. It closed down the fountain and sat down on a couch and asked her to do the same.</p><p>It then went on to tell her how there was a need for clouds in the country where it came from. He devised a system in which these clouds could be produced. At first it didn&#039;t result in a high production but after the creation of human forms there was more than enough cloud production to satisfy the needs of its country.</p><p><strong>A BALL WITH A FLU</strong><br />When Sarah asked the ball what they did with all these clouds, the ball said that she wouldn&#039;t understand. If she would read everything she might gain a better understanding. She frowned again and the ball turned into a smiley. Just kidding!</p><p>The ball coughed after this joke and kept on coughing for about ten seconds. It turned pale while coughing only to regain its shiny colors when the coughing had ended. He apologized and told her that it hadn&#039;t thought about one aspect when he created humanity and that little aspect started to have a serious health effect on itself.</p><p>&#039;When I decided to place a piece of myself into you humans I did this so that you would realize that you were part of something bigger. This realization and the ensuing desire to reconnect would prove to produce clouds from a special color. It seemed like a good idea then but I had forgotten about this rule from &#039;the creators guide to creations&#039;, namely that once you put a piece of yourself into something alive you will remain connected to it.</p><p>To put it into other words: I started to experience the same emotions, thoughts etc - albeit in a lesser intensity - that my human beings experienced. Since the loosh-production was ever increasing I just ignored this aspect, but the effect has increased during the years, to the degree that it has even affected my immune system. If I keep on ignoring it, I might even develop a disease.</p><p><strong>WHAT TO DO?</strong><br />&quot;Why don&#039;t you do something about it?&quot;, Sarah asked the ball. The ball said that it had various options, but it didn&#039;t really know the outcome. It could shut down the creation instantly, like pulling the plug out. The disadvantages of that approach might be that the ball wouldn&#039;t be absolutely sure if all parts of itself would return to it and secondly its country has gotten used to the cloud production level of its creation.</p><p>I took a look the other day at my creation and I noticed that there were not only collectors of its kind going after the clouds but there were all kinds of other beings collecting clouds of certain colors. They really interfered in its creation and they seemed to create more distortion in its human beings. Although it resulted in more clouds it also increased the level of distortion in the creator ball itself.</p><p>The ball said that it was working out a plan to continue both the production of clouds and the return of all parts of itself back to itself, without taking along parts of all those that had interfered in its creation. Sarah proposed an idea: &quot;Why don&#039;t you try to raise the frequency of all those that have a part of you inside? They will start to produce clouds of a finer color and the ones who can only &#039;eat&#039; the uglier colors will either starve or move away, leading to a decrease in distortion&quot;. &quot;Perhaps&quot;, the ball coughed while smiling, &quot;but they aren&#039;t the main problem. The main issue seems to be that you cannot create friction in a creation without getting fractured yourself. I need to find a way to restore all this.&quot;</p><p><strong>BACK HOME</strong><br />Sarah woke up and petted her dog that was lying at the foot-end of her bed. She was already thinking about new questions to ask the ball and herself: how could she assist the ball?</p><p>This text can also be found at <a href="http://home.tiscali.nl/gibbon/random/ball-with-a-flu.htm">http://home.tiscali.nl/gibbon/random/ba … -a-flu.htm</a></p>]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I was thinking, back then well about a year ago when I was like... 13.</p><p>Anyways, I saw a lot of bickering among teenagers happening more and more often. There&#039;s this group that&#039;s always judging others and trying to act &#039;manly&#039; - They don&#039;t really get a long, instead they like to spit at other social groupings. They said showing emotions show a sign of weakness. These guys were considered sharped and infamous for really pinching someone&#039;s emotions.</p><p>I even considered them as people to look among to, obviously now.. Definitely not.</p><p>Emotions... Showing a sign of weakness?</p><p>Somehow the seeded genes of ours really gave us to express emotions more than the Lizards and even most of our space brothers and sisters. Infact, Greys told us we are the only beings that smile to express emotions in the universe.</p><p>This really, really, deeply show us that we can really teach something to the stars here. Our emotions show strength, it gives us the energy towards our goal. Of course, Reptilians love it.</p><p>&quot;Yummy!!&quot;<br />- Random Reptilian</p><p>But if we harness it, it won&#039;t be so pleasant anymore for those Stargods.</p><p>Focusing on mankind, how will our emotions really do show signs of weakness to each other ?</p><p>Some measly argument can be conquered using emotions? Will it?</p><br /><p>Is it more of weakness or strength !?</p>]]></summary>

			<summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>I had a horrible experience today.&nbsp; It seems I have this internal conflict that goes on all the time.&nbsp; I am trying to figure out where it stems from.&nbsp; It has to do with this resistance that I have had my entire life.&nbsp; I have always resisted doing things.&nbsp; I always knew better then what people told me, what society said was right.&nbsp; It has held me back for so much of my life.&nbsp; It has kept me from opening up emotionally, it has kept me from following my dreams.&nbsp; The only reason I am not fully ready to throw it out the window, or try with all I have to do so, is because it may be what has kept me aware, it has made sure I remember those things that we forget, like we are eternal beings, and there is a infinite of experience.&nbsp; The feeling is like keeping a leech around that has saved your life.&nbsp; It is draining life from you but, you feel that maybe it will help you again.&nbsp; </p><p>The resistance manifests in quite interesting ways.&nbsp; If I am involved in a menial task and in a mood where distraction comes easy, it will lure me to something simple, and I will quickly lose focus.&nbsp; If I fight and concentrate, then the resistance will pop increasingly more and more interesting concepts into my head, until if I hold out long enough on getting distracted I will have downright epiphanies were really heavy meanings become easily understood and causes my mind to wander at which point it is sent into a confusion spiral, and I descend back to my normal sleeping state.&nbsp; I can&#039;t tell if this these thoughts in my head, as the resistance seems to be, are helpful but I know they are a hindrance.&nbsp; It is so frustrating.&nbsp; It is like fighting an unwanted guest in my mind, but I cannot tell the difference from me and it.&nbsp; I can not tell its thoughts from mine.&nbsp; The only thing I can figure to do is just shut off all thinking which is what I have been able to do very seldom.&nbsp; &nbsp;It lures me back with the most fascinating ideas though.&nbsp; It is like mind candy, that I can just not resist, and when I take hold of it I am trapped by it.&nbsp; It has my attention, and it drags me back down to a level where it can make me forget how I was able to rise against it, and it feeds on me.&nbsp; It pulls my strings until I am angry, tired, and despaired.&nbsp; What a bastard it is.&nbsp; Then it tells me I need it, only I don&#039;t know what it is.&nbsp; I can not tell the difference between it and whatever is writing these words.&nbsp; Am I more then one thing?&nbsp; Is my body fighting the soul?&nbsp; Is something foreign inside my mind?&nbsp; What the hell is going on!</p><p>I think another hassle of this resistance is that I can&#039;t tell if I am fighting it, or if it is duping me into fighting myself.&nbsp; &nbsp;There is definitely a conflict, I can feel it manifest whenever this occurs in my solar plexus&nbsp; (Gas <img src="https://forum.noblerealms.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /> ).&nbsp; </p><p>I can&#039;t tell if fighting against it is doing any good.&nbsp; Sometimes it seems ignoring it is the best mode of operation, but then I get lazy and it sneak attacks me. </p><p>... I think it might be time for me to clear my head again.</p>]]></summary>
