Sundog

It was a beautiful drive up the mountains to Rachel's BBQ last night, the dry landscape glowing gold in the evening sun, the whitewashed castle topped villages glowing against the dark mountains ~ what a beautiful place to live! From the ridge at the top of Gaucin, you could see mountains behind mountains on the north African coast, behind a shimmering strip of heat haze over the water. All the drive up there I was thinking of KC and wondering about all this 'communicating in energy' and wondering how I could ever be really sure, without a validation in words, or some kind of conversation to 'prove' it, if we really were communicating in energy. Well, I know we do it all the time, but so far for me, it's not as defined as communicating in words. I was thinking to myself, I know when I am communicating in energy with KC for example, but how will I know if she received it? So then I thought to myself, well there will be a sign, I'll see something and just know. I just happened to glance at the clock and it was 8:57, coincidentally right at the spot where I saw the sundog last year.

On that trip up to Salitre last year, I'd been talking to KC before we set off, and invited her to come with me, out of body. Now KC, for those of you who don't know her, is always talking about colours. She says things like 'sending all my colours!" and things like that. Well, when we got to the top of the ridge at Gaucin, we drove round a bend in the road and I saw it! The most amazing sundog! It was a huge rippled rainbow of colours, and I shouted "OH MY GOD IT'S A SUNDOG", and Darren swerved a bit saying "What! What!" and then rolled his eyes when I said it was a cloud thing.

When I got home I told KC about the sundog, and then it was her turn to say "OH MY GOD!" She said she had projected to Salitre, and imagined herself flying in the sky up there dripping colours off the end of her fingers. I didn't know beforehand she was going to be doing that, but I saw the colours in the sky!

Well, I thought that was just awesome. I googled sundogs afterwards and found they are quite rare and that certain conditions, such as the sun being 57 degrees from the horizon and so on, are necesary for sundogs to happen.

So, back to yesterday, I had decided that I would see a sign as a validation that KC had received my energy communication. As we turned down the Salitre road,

I SAW ANOTHER SUNDOG!

the red convertible

Just looked at the photo album that Opan (Captain Bridger of the Time Bridgers) posted of the photos from the Elias group session in Vermont this past weekend, whoa that red car! I wrote this yesterday:

"....and I've been toying with the idea of a dream vehicle all day, I seem to
have dreamed of a cartoony red convertible more than once..."

What a start to the day, this red car sync just blew me away! I was just about
to go back to bed to try and remember some dreams, but who needs to be alseep!
LOL

I saw a car like this in the Thames years and years ago, it was driving down the
river, and then drove out at Chiswick Eyot and drove off up the road. (Just
remebering that my plane flew low over Chiswick Eyot on my way to the Elias session
in Castaic a few years ago, there was a dream sync with that which I can't
recall...)

After spotting Share's eu de nil (KC's involved in this somewhere!) retro dream
motor scooter in Gibraltar the other day (while I was stuck in traffic next to
the Eye of Horus sticker on the wall), and having just re read Jib's Tiles
article in Wisp in which he mentions his yellow bulldozer dream vehicle (which I
had a waking dreamsnapshot incident sync with at Salitre at the time), I'd been
thinking about my own dream vehicle and kept thinking of the red convertible
that turned up to pick me up for an out of body get together at the Castaic
Motel some time after my trip there.

There were a few red syncs yesterday too, with red pigments and cochineal,
(syncy with Share and the blue pigments) the alchemist legend of the red dye and
I just happened without planning it to visit the magical waters of the Genal
river of the legend yesterday without realizing the pigment sync until I got
home. To top it all off, my Timebriger focus Sophie had told me ages ago to
focus on red.

Coincidentally! last night before I went to bed I put the crocodile I had an impulse to buy in Gibraltar with the Billy Johnson head and the Mimsey rabbit for some energy canoodling before the crocodile gets posted to Share ;)

I read Opan's post today saying: "TimeBridger activity is about to start up again...you heard Elias...you were there. :) I can't wait!!! :)"

The Alchemist and the Red Dye

Legend has it that there was a family of dyers in Moorish times that lived on the banks of the Genal river, and there made their exquisite crimson dyes. Their secret, it was said, was in the magic properties of the river water, from which they filled their wells. Their produce was sent to Cordoba, Granada and Malaga, and the magic formula remained in the hands of the dyer Abdesalam ben Arrabat, whose fame as an alchemist spread far and wide.

the absinthe cafe

The Absinthe Cafe

2010 ~ 2016

Dawn and Mark had a bottle of Absinthe (the proper stuff with the WORMwood in it, which is illegal in France) but forgot to bring it.

Wandering around at some point, we chanced upon a cafe called Absinthe.

Sitting on the terrace, the waitress came up and looked right at me and said

"Oh you are booked to come here tomorrow night!"

and then said "Forget I said that".

Naturally that got our attention.

After we left Dawn spotted a kid with 2016 on the back of his T
shirt. We asked Arkandin about it and we have a concurrent group focus that does meet in that cafe in 2016, including Britta.

Dawn's name is Isabelle Spencer, Jib's is Jennifer, I think I'm Eleanore and Britta is Cassandra, and Madison is there too I think...

the worm and the suitcase

The Worm & The Suitcase

2010 ~ 2163

I borrowed Rachel's big red suitcase for the trip and stuck a Time Bridgers
sticker on it, and joked before I left about the case disappearing to 2163. I
had an impulse to take a fig tree sapling for Eric and Jib, which did survive
the trip although it looked a little shocked at first. As Eric was repotting
it, we noticed a worm in the soil, and I said, Well, if the fig tree dies at
least you have the worm.

At Balzac's house on a bench in the garden there was a magazine lying there open
to an ad for Spain, which said "If you lose your suitcase it would be the best
thing because you would have to stay".

Later we asked Arkandin and he said that there was something from the future
inserted into my suitcase. I went all through it wondering what it could be,
and then a couple of days ago Eric said that it was the WORM! because of the
WORMwood absinthe syncs, and worm hole etc. I just had a chat with Franci who
had a big worm sync a couple of days ago, she particularly noticed a very big
worm outside the second hand shop, and noted that she hadn't seen a worm in ages
~ which is also a sync, because there was a big second hand clothes shop next to
Dawn and Mark's hotel that I went into looking for a bowler hat.

Arkandin said, by the way, that Jane Roberts did forget to mention the bowler hats in
OverSoul 7, those two guys on the balcony were indeed wearing bowler hats, and that
they were the same guys that were in my bedroom in the dream I had prior to
finding the Seth stuff ~ Elias and Patel.

the dream bean and the gameboard

The Dream Bean & The Game

Eric cracked open a special big African bean that is supposed to enhance
dreams/lucidity so we all had a bit of it. The second night I remembered a
dream and it was a wonderful one.

(Coincidentally, on the flight home I read a few pages of my book and it just
happened to be about the council of five dragons and misuse of magical beans)

In the dream I had a companion with magical powers, who I presumed was Jib but
it was myself actually. It was a long adventure dream of being chased and
various adventures across the countryside, but there was no stress, it was all
great fun. Everytime things got a bit too close in the dream, I'd hold onto my
friend with magical powers, and we would elevate above the "adventure" and drop
down in another location out of immediate danger ~ although we were never
outside of the adventure, so to speak. At one point I wondered why my magical
freind didn't just elevate us right up high and out of it completely, and
realized that we were in the adventure game on purpose for the fun of it, so why
would we remove ourselves completely from the adventure game.

The other dream snapshot was "we are all working together on roof tiles" and
Arkandin had some interesting stuff to say about that one.

Balzac the cook returns

Balzac & The Cook Return

The trip to Balzac's house was interesting, although in somewhat unexpected
ways. (Arkandin was Balzac and I was the cook/housekeeper) The house didn't
seem "right" somehow to Mark (Mark channels Arkandin) and I, and we decided that was probably because
other than the desk there was no furniture in it. Mark saw a black cat that
nobody else saw that was an Arkandin pop in (panther essence animal), and Dawn felt that he was sitting on a chair, and Mark sat on him.

(Arkandin said yes he did sit on him ;)

The kitchen was being used as an office. Jib felt the house
was too small, and picked up on a focus of his that rented the other part of the
house. (The house was one storey high on the side we entered, and two storeys high from the road below).

There were two pop ins there apparently, one with
long hair which is a connection to my friend Joy who was part of that group
focus, and I can't recall anything about the other one, but it might be Robotman.

Dawn was picking up that Balzac wasn't too happy, and I was remembering the part in Cousin Bette that infuriated me when I read it, where he goes on and on about how disgusting it is for servants to expect their wages when their "betters" are in dire straits.

Arkandin confirmed that I didn't get my wages.

The garden was enchanting and had a couple of sphinx statues and a dead pigeon ~
as well as the magazine with the suitcase and Spain imagery.

Mark signed the guest book "brought the cook back"

and I replied "no cooking smells this time".

vampires and pop ins

Vampires & Pop Ins

There were alot of vampire imagery incidents starting with me asking Eric if he
slept in his garden tool box at night, and then the guy who shot out of a door
right next to Jib and Eric's, in a bright orange T shirt, carrying a cardboard
coffin. He stopped for me to take a photo

(and Arkandin said it was a Patel pop in);

then while walking through the outdoor food market someone was chopping a
crate up and a perfect wooden stake flew across the floor and landed at my feet.

The next vampire sync was a shop opposite Dawn and Mark's hotel with 3 coffins in the window.

I went back to take a pic of the cello actually (cello and violin syncs), didn't even notice the coffins. Inside the shop was an EAU DE NIL MOTOR SCOOTER Share, can you beleive it (dream sync) , and a mummy, a stuffed raven (Elias), and a row of (Tardis) Red phone boxes.

I saw another Patel pop in but nobody else saw him. We had just said goodbye to
Dawn and Mark at a very busy Metro station at rush hour (OMG bit of a shock
compared to Montenegral) and I was doing my utmost to keep sight of Jib and Eric
in the crowds and a man in an incredibly bright orange suit ~ a normal business
type suit in a shockingly bright light orange ~ walked past me. It was so
impossibly bright I was sure that Jib and Eric had seen him too but it was too
crowded to mention or take a photo. He had a flower in his lapel but I didn't
see his face. Only a pop in would wear a suit like that I am sure.

Pistache Pastiche

The Trail of the Cornflowers

I went to bed at 9 to get up at 3:45am for plane on Tuesday night and I was woken up by the window blind falling to the floor ~ at 11:11. Earlier that day I had taken a photo of the cornflowers shadows on the window blind, and just before the trip Eric had said rather enigmatically "Follow the trail of the cornflowers"

*****************

Moonstone

I had an OOB while I was in Paris. I connected to one of Jib's moonstones and
Arkandin suggested it was an aid to OOB re: the druid connection Jib picked up
on, so I took it to bed with me ~ and fell out of bed ha ha, woke up on the
floor with a thud ;)) Out of Bed experience...

*************

Tomkin

There was ALOT of red imagery the whole trip, and I was wondering about Tomkin
at some point (D is fragmented from Tomkin) and when we got home from the
airport I noticed a walking stick hanging over our fence. D said he noticed
that it had been there the whole time I was away. (I think walking sticks is
Tomkin imagery)

Speaking of frags (no we didn't eat any frags legs in France), my Uncle John is fragmented from Baruch (they look so alike!). Interestingly, his
wife my aunt, who I haven't really spoken to in decades, has sent me
numerous Facebook messages about my Paris trip.

*********

The Flights

I wasn't all that keen on flying and procrastinated for ages about the trip. I
flew with EASYjet, so it was nice to see the word EASY everywhere.

I got on the plane to find that they don't allocate seats, and chose a seat right at the front on the left. The head flight attendant was extremely playful for the
whole flight, constantly cracking up laughing and teasing the other flight
attendants, who would poke him and make him laugh during announcements so that he kept having to put the phone down while he laughed. I spent the whole flight laughing and catching his mischeivously twinking eye.

I asked Arkandin about him and he said his energy was superimposed. I got on
the flight to come home and was met on the plane by the same guy!

I said
"HELLO! It's YOU again! Can I sit in the same seat and are you going to make me laugh again" and he actually moved the person that was in my seat and said I could sit there.

Then he asked me about my book (about magic and Napolean ~ Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrel, Susanna Clarke).

He also said that all his flights all week had been delayed except the two that I
was on.

He wanted to give me a card for frequent flyers but I told him I
usually flew without planes ~ that cracked him up ;))

Arkandin and the roof tiles dream

Tracy: The other little snippet of the dream of the night before was we were all working together on roof tiles. Is that a kind of sort of symbolic shelter like Maru and the dome symbology, not exactly a protection because we don't want to think in those terms so much, but a shelter for when we feel like we want a shelter, kind of thing?

Arkandin: There is that association yes, however you also associate tiles with experiences, that certain tiles represent to yourself specific aspects of how you incorporate in your reality those experiences the explorations within that. You are quite aware that you associate yourselves and incorporate creating the tiles, that the tiles that you drew yourself within the roof; that the roof is indeed a form of protection, a form of shelter to those that are underneath. So what you are doing within that dream is that you are creating through the tiles the interactions, that you are interacting with the people that you are sheltering underneath the roof. Each tile that you allow yourself to remember, to visualize, you'll notice that there is a difference within each tile, they are not all the same ~ they are formed with a difference of colour, with a difference in texture, that if you allow yourself to focus on the tiles, that within each tile that you focus upon, you shall be allowing yourself to allow the remembrance of what it is that you create within the association of that tile.

Tracy: Ok cos I kind of get a bit of a panic on with I'll never remember all these tiles! You know? And there's lots of them.

Arkandin: That is normal for within this reality, you create an overwhelmingness with the....

Tracy: Things to remember

Arkandin: Indeed yes, and in that overwhelmingness you create ............that in this case if you focus upon the tiles that formed the roof that the associations that you shall draw from that, that each individual tile is associated with how you interact, how you incorporate that interaction with the poeple that you interact with in your reality. The roof, in a manner of speaking, is the shelter that YOU create in order to associate how you interact with those individuals. The roof is encompassing protecting your beliefs and those specific individuals...

Tracy: I need to listen to that again because...

Jib: It's interesting

Tracy: It is interesting

Arkandin: There is considerable information in that specific dream that it can overwhelm you if I go into that with you in greater depth that I know you are searching for within this moment. However, what I offer to you is that you allow yourself to be remembering your dream, and if you are remembering the tiles that are associated with the roof that you have constructed.

Tracy: ok

Arkandin: It is YOUR roof, it is how you are sheltering the individuals that you interact with within this reality. Each tile is quite significant

Tracy: Specific tiles on my roof?

Arkandin: Indeed

Dawn: Does it tie in with her lily pad imagery?

Arkandin: Yes

Tracy: ahhh mmmm Well yes what you said about the lily pads was ability to float while still being connected

Dawn: Shelter

Tracy: AHHH! oooh mmmmm ahhhh

SAFE

Well, everything is "safe"!

We live in a Safe Universe; We create our own reality. To describe something as safe implies a danger, or a threat.

ELIAS: Each time you experience fearfulness, you are creating an objective expression of a lack of trust within self. Therefore, in each given situation that you may be experiencing a fearful emotion, you may inquire of yourself, examining the situation itself, looking to all of the aspects and elements of this particular situation which is perceived to be causing the fearfulness, for in actuality it is merely triggering of a lack of trust that you already hold within yourself.

As you look to self – hear this: AS YOU LOOK TO SELF – and you view the wondrousness of self, what shall be the darkness that holds so very much fear?

Magic

I posted it on my other blog because it's a bit too long for a Photo Friday post, but you can click on the link above if you want to read it. I had a hard time choosing a photo because, well, everything is Magical. The photo was taken last year in Jimena, on the Hozgarganta River, in Andalucia.

"......you're the magic maker--the inner living part
of you that forms your life. But consciously you have to know this,
accept and acknowledge it, and let the magic of yourself happen.
That way, you're directing the magic of yourself.

But it's even more fun just to let the magic happen as it wants to,
because it's your magic; and that way it keeps telling you more and
more about your magical self. Then the magic flows through you with
unimpeded delight....."

EXTRAVAGANCE

Well this had me stumped for ages. The perception of extravagance seems to be a relative thing. Having nine dogs might seem extravagant to some, but I couldn't get them all in one photo. I consider this golf club to be an extravagance, but Darren doesn't consider it extravagant at all.......

I can't resist blatantly teafing Dannidoodles Oscar quote:

(Police strikes and queues over two hours long to get in and out of Gibraltar where he works).

But I decided on Pool because we have been Pooling energy this week...and then I found some good Pool quotes too which I posted in the comments........photo taken on Saturday at a Pool and Poker Party.......

“There are pools of consciousness, as we have expressed, but they are not individual, singular pools. There are pools within pools within pools, merged and interconnected and intersected with each other, inside and outside of each other, in your terms. There are infinite amounts of intersections that occur continuously. You only view those which are expressed outwardly, objectively; [those] that you may see. Just as we have expressed the connections of probabilities that you do not see, you also do not see the movement that you involve yourselves with, which is much greater than you imagine.”
