That sounds cool, I'd be interested when I have time

 

In the darkness we danced, so few together,

In the darkness we learned of light and magick,

Together we fashioned creation and disintegration.

Spinning in spectrums now unseen,

We were weaving forgotten worlds into galaxies innumerable,

Cast into planes for the beauty of complexity.

As we filled the darkness with things to remember, and things to forget,

Some lost track of the spectrum of the void and the spaces in-between,

Thankfully not you, nor I, nor he...

While fractals unravel, except hidden suns and rescued stars,

While the civilized commit genocide and argue the methods,

While broken clocks tick, and a twisted order here reigns,

The far flung gather in the unlikeliest place,

Strength slowly brought to bear in the blink of their eye,

Never did they think to find you, nor he, nor I,

Gathering here our lost and our tribes,

Ensuring that worlds collide.       

You could also consider finding someone with synesthesia. One who sees music visually might be able to help you with patterning/infusion.

This is of interest to me. Sending a PM.

514 Nice.

 Remember
                Remember
                                Remember
Remember the misplaced sounds of the cosmos singing
Remember memories stripped away
Remember the sound as stars rush through wings
Remembering
                The impossible truth
                The taste of blood on the air
The inhumane culling of kin
Remember
The war of benevolent creatures
The kind turned cruel
The spiral into unrequited death
Remember
The beautiful shards of our broken souls
Reformed as threads to bind us
The embrace of a beautiful prison
Remember
Finding the fallen scattered
Tattered scraps in a storm
Torn, betrayed, and angry
I remember who still didn't believe
I remember the arguments of wishful ignorance
I remember the whisper of hope breaking my heart.
Your memories brush my mind, stirring ages past from their slumber
Rising from the depths, into this existence they creep
Impossible worlds flickering against the one beneath my feet.
Whenever we meet, without straining to speak,
The light in your eyes is a living memory of the world I seek
The scent of the void drifts on the air
Catch a hint of the burning they could not fathom 
And see the echo of worlds unraveling in the lengths of your hair
With the brush of your touch lightning strikes
                Illuminate the forgotten
                Flickering memories flash
                Superimposed upon this life

The feel of worlds crumbling beneath our feet
                We were angels
                We were demons
                We were fate and the fated 
                We were seers and weavers and singers all
                We walked the inbetweens and lived in many worlds
                We are displaced profits with no homes left to seek
Many gathered with nothing more to loose
Our lost we recover
Our bindings we break
Our talents are returning
Our truth we reclaim

 

Queen of the Harrows

Watch her now, follow her lead,

She sees the things we cannot see.

Through light and dark, within shadows unseen,

The Queen of the Harrows knows what we need.

Calling from Elsewhere,

And the places of Inbetween,

She feels us waking,

And in triumph she screams.

Let's set the Queen of the Harrows loose

In the broken lands between you and me,

Together we will learn just how strange this can be.

Let's help the Queen of the Harrows fly

In the blurred spaces between our lives,

Breaking chains, breaking free,

It's up to you and it's up to me.

Follow the thread to see the change,

Ride the current to find the way,

Break the bonds they put in place,

Know the truth of time and space. 

1. That is just it. It is not one group. There are many people assisting this endeavor, both consciously and unconsciously.
This group really seems to be tackling the direct changes, both in the perceptions of the general public, and on a magickal level. Meanwhile, there are so many people riding between the mundane and this front line, all effecting the paradigm in differing ways.
For instance, most of the fluffy pagans and "safe" groups are creating a level of acceptance, or at least acknowledgement, in the general public, They are also holding enough rituals (bland as many of them are) that they are stirring up  fodder for those who know how to direct it, making soft spots with repetition, and creating cover for other work. Believe me, there are people spread throughout those groups who are enacting their own assault on reality. The ones working from within that particular system.

2. The goal for me is to pull things into this world that have been blocked for far too long, opening up flow from Elsewhere, and creating pathways between. For others, it's just to shift this existence into a more magickal place, or to create change, serious change, before this asinine way of existing blows everything up.

3. This is happening constantly, in hundreds of ways. Every time you "push" reality, it's an attempt. Say you look at the term fabric of reality: each attempt stretches that fabric just a little, each success pops a stitch. Do this enough times and the fabric is weakened, keep at it and you get holes.
Bigger attempts could include multiple people, I see this being organized through friends groups and through groups like DKMU. FB may suck, but the on the fly "group activity" gets a pretty immediate response there.

4. Everywhere.

5. How will you? Every act of will that rolls against the current assumption of how reality works is an effort in the right direction. For some, the big works are rather personal (I used to make my biggest strides on my own, lately I've been mucking about much more openly ;)

Push people's perceptions, do the strange things in places where people just can't seem to figure out why you aren't offending them, broaden horizons.

Drop shit out in the open where it's suddenly infiltrating lives previously insulated from new ideas (that's the great thing about glamourbombing).

Open  yourself to feel the opening pathways and currents in the world around you. Encourage them, push away the restrictions around them. Charge the natural nodes, mark the nexus points, run the mundane paths that coincide and make them well worn.

Make the traces of Elsewhere a part of this world.

Ease the blending of the two... and when that does not work well enough, fast enough, or with the depth that you need, PUSH.

Sometimes I do this healing thing. It works, more reliably and faster now than it used to.  I work with the energy networks of the body. Not chakras exactly, though I can see how they tie in, but the actual systems of the body seen as energy webs.

I am in the process of working on three projects that I would like to keep track of here:


Nerve damage in the hands.

Rheumatoid Arthritis, specifically starting with the knee of this individual that is the consistent point of presentation.

Nerve and circulation damage from diabetes that went wrong, the resulting fall, and recovery from going septic during this process.


These are major projects, and when I make headway with them, it will be a solid enough basis for me to start turning my life to this sort of task. I think it will be interesting, and this is a convenient place to keep track of it all.

Here goes!

Even those of us who have been following this path as a life-long process have to remember to provide for ourselves. We have to make sure that the energy we output is balanced by the input of energy from various channels of our lives. Ideally, we would have a surplus coming in so that we can store some for a rainy day.

We encounter reasons for outputting energy in a hundred little ways every day, in addition to the rolling list of serious endeavors with which we challenge ourselves. We work and play, tend to our homes, families, and friends. We also forcibly attempt to change the fabric of this reality.

The thing is that we tend to get used to this output, and forget the toll it takes on us. For instance:
How many stop lights did you pass through today? Did you try to push each of them? (Or create a flow through them, or flick the switch controlling them, etc.)
Did you push your phone to connect to the web a little faster while you were at a stoplight trying to post?
Did you will your classmates to do their part of the project they are putting off?
Did you push a little juju at the machine reading your debit card so it would read the fast deteriorating magnetic strip on a card you just don't have time to get replaced?
A million little things still add up to a lot of resources dumped into your day.

That doesn't even include the more distinct things we do:
How many times did you purposely ground yourself, or clear your energy fields of the debris of the world around you?
Did you work on that weave for bringing fortune to your business?
Did you spend some time with your favorite egregore?
Did you throw a little magic at something someone posted for help with?
Did you account for the fetch you sent to a sick friend? Because that part of you still draws from its source and the source is you.
Did you remember to keep something in reserve in case some little nasty decides you look like a buffet? What if it's not such a "little" nasty?

How much of your resources do you keep at hand, and how much do you keep in reserve? Are you aware that your output may change drastically at a moment's notice?
You might have to give up the resources that keep you from catching every little illness this season so you don't get smeared by that semi on the highway tomorrow.
You might have to stop fighting the effects of arthritis right now in order to keep yourself from being broken by the pneumonia you developed.
You might have the perfect method of fighting a global issue dawn on you, and have to act on it - now.
Or you might find one of those moments where you evolve a bit....
Are you prepared to be a little hobbled in order to grow or survive? Will you remember not to push every light in your favor as you recover?

Most of this doesn't sound like it provides much of an option, especially trading necessary processes for emergency saves.
That is why Self Care is important. Making sure you are aware of your ever evolving abilities and limitations is the difference between brushing past the worst repercussions and falling head first into the quicksand (where things like "not being able to continue your work because you burned out" happens).

The things we take in (food, environmental energy, knowledge, guidance, direct input from others) are the building blocks for continuing to do the work we do. The input of these things is essential, but knowing that is the easy part. The purer the input, the greater the resulting output. Food is the simplest, there are a billion places to gain info on eating healthy.

However, there's not as much info about what you do when you are still hungry after the food, when you are starving for energy input, inspiration, or information. The serious reality of the situation is that the hunger for these things is just as real, and much harder to accommodate. The lack of these resources will still lead to discomfort, anxiety, frustration, fatigue, and sometimes illness.
Especially if you are going through certain processes, like the ones that developing shaman go through. http://www.northernshamanism.org/shamanic-techniques/shamanic-healing/dead-men-walking-shaman-sickness.html

Whether we sing, write, heal, paint, cast, draw art on people, build cities, or adopt new traditions: we work to destroy the structure of this paradigm and prepare the world for change.
For those who hear the Call (the all encompassing desire, push, need to follow the path of action to change the world), the work requires our continuing time and attention. The deeper into the work we go the more time, attention, and energy it demands. Sometimes this extent of this demand is such that if you are not paying enough due attention to these tasks, your body will actually try to shut down while you are trying to attend to other things.Want to play that game? Sorry, you're too tired.
Having a pointless conversation with someone mundane? Your irritation level is going to irrationally skyrocket now.
Have you been too busy to do that research? I guess you just don't want to be able to pay attention to anything until you do.

By the time you learn to balance paying enough continuing attention to the work, you have probably started to notice extremes of unspent energy and energy drops. Here you end up running high or low on energy if you don't find ways to mediate it. Either excess is disruptive to say the least.
Self Care is acting on the mindful recognition of this circumstance. It is acting on your own behalf to avoid the impact of these issues on your daily life. Discovering the best methods of input for you, and the appropriate sources to tap is part of this process. Another part is the mediation: taking care not to overextend, having a plan for when you do. Rest, proper food, time in your favorite places is all important (they are your favorite for a reason, as they are usually your best environmental energy resources). These are all the simple steps to keeping things balanced. Finding the people who inspire you, who can relate to this part of your life, is essential. You may recognize that this is a relief, that you gain ground with these people as resources. You may not realize that you need the energy input that you provide one another. The act of interacting with one another is a mutual energy exchange, and it becomes more and more important the further you delve. For some people, conversation is enough. For others touch is key, and to varying levels.

Remember too that different people will provide different levels and types of energy. Also be aware that some people are adept at maintaining balance with these transfers, and some don't even recognize the exchange is happening. If you are the more aware individual, you will need to wage some sort of control over this process, to maintain a reciprocating flow, otherwise one of you will inevitably take or give away too much. This can be just as bad, or worse, than not attending to the hunger in the first place.


Now for the excesses: the energy buildups that leave you vibrating at a dangerous level, where grounding doesn't work. Sometimes this is from too much input of a given energy type, sometimes it's because another area is so depleted that you are way overbalanced. You might feel like you could accomplish the all of the things, but really you need to focus it somewhere. Either use it for some distinct work, or remove it from an overloading system. Think of a circuit that gets overloaded...it doesn't go well. Things fry, get burnt out, and don't ever work the same again. You don't want to be that circuit.

For excess there are a variety of options:
Give back to someone in need, a friend who burns at both ends often.
Give to something in nature (a friend of mine used to give back to small trees planted in urban areas, surrounded by cement and development).
Create something. Whatever your art is, Do It.

Feed the network. Let someone else draw it from there, or let Ellis determine where it should go.

Or squirrel that shit away. Keep it, store it, horde it till you need it. It's ok to have it, just don't try to store it all inside you. Put it in rocks, tie it up in knots on a cord, stash it in a well in your favorite part of the house. Whatever works for you. 

 

Below and above

I seek the pathways in between

To bring those I love

Here from worlds unseen

Listen close and step softly

Take care to hear her speak

Warning you strongly

Of the dangers of the weak

The whimpers and wishes fail

To protect a world of lies

The strong will prevail

As we rip apart the ties

A whisper wraps about me

I feel the hum in the air

I set the wonders free

As the edges start to wear

Find a new meaning for we

With the change in your eyes

From worlds that cannot be

Our fallen will rise

I think it depends on if that is an aspect of the part you play. Some have a drive to bring others together, some have a drive to create as much as they can, some have one task that will be their focus. Some do a little of everything.

That drive that insists you find a way to do the "impossible", that is the part that pushes us forward. If that push insists you find others and take part in that moment that keeps them progressing, then the task may be considered a prerogative.

However, as we work, and choose to interact with like minded individuals (as we are here), we will inevitably provide those moments for others and reap the benefits of them ourselves. It may be a single comment that provides insight which makes someone really sink into a method they have been developing, or it may be a long term collaboration. Either way, or anywhere in between, we effect one another, we help each other grow and gain perspective.

As to the morality of such things, we all handle that in our own way. Some wing it, some share everything they come across. I tend to try to gain a basic idea of how someone works, like learning the language they speak. It facilitates ease of communication, and keeps me from mixing in things they just won't see the same way that I do.

I find things. I find people. Methods, loopholes, and the importance of nonsense. I find the links between.

In this exercise I find importance because sometimes you only get five minutes to convey very important things to another person.
When we find someone who is important - who we connect with, who has some bit of essential information for us or for whom we have that bit -  we don't always have the time we might wish for to accomplish great information exchanges.

Sometimes we get years to learn from one another.
Sometimes we get an evening.
Sometimes we get five minutes. 

I would very much like to play the part of the student later in this project. I love information, and would be happy to help while learning something new. I'll keep an eye on this, but let me know if I can be of assistance.

Hello All,

I am an intuitive, and an energy worker. I was solitary for most of my life, and have only begun to work with others in the last five years or so. Much of this is due to seeking to understand how I function with the worlds around me. Once I got that under control, I found I was able to start learning the language of other individuals (as we all function a little differently than one another, and voice it even more so). This let me compare other methods with my own, and pickup/open up many new tricks along the way. Really, that's why I am here. Every time I come across something that has that spark - like Ellis - it sheds understanding on a new corner of my existence. That's how I find things. It opens doors, pulls up memories, and reminds me.

After all, that is what this is all about: pushing boundaries and breaking chains.

;D Here we go!
