The Eastern Alliance is building the new financial system to support the coming Event:</span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.examiner.com/article/harbinger-23-countries-begin-setting-up-swap-lines-to-bypass-dollar">http://www.examiner.com/article/harbinger-23-countries-begin-setting-up-swap-lines-to-bypass-dollar</a></span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">On the other hand, the Jesuits have infiltrated many agents inside the Eastern Alliance to hijack the process, hoping to create a global centralized financial system after the dollar collapses as a world reserve currency and the Illuminazi faction is removed: </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://vidrebel.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/arab-gulf-states-join-chinese-campaign-to-dump-the-dollar/">http://vidrebel.wordpress.com/2013/12/03/arab-gulf-states-join-chinese-campaign-to-dump-the-dollar/</a> </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">They are entertaining an idea of including Bitcoin in the new centralized system as well.</span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The Jesuits are hoping to somehow survive the Event untouched by putting the friendly face of master manipulator Pope Francis as their frontman and portraying themselves as the good guys. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">To further their goal of a new centralized banking system, the Jesuits have silently teamed up with the Rothschilds in their efforts:</span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://canauzzie.blogspot.com/2013/12/clearing-deal-fuels-london-ambition-to.html">http://canauzzie.blogspot.com/2013/12/clearing-deal-fuels-london-ambition-to.html</a> </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The Rothschilds are doing whatever they can to be as silent and invisible as possible in hopes that people will not remember them when the Event comes. They will try to portray themselves as people who collect art and love good wines and have an investment fund or two by the way. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">Meanwhile, the world is preparing for the financial reset. The fact that dollar will lose world reserve currency status and that a new financial system is coming is becoming common knowledge, although interpretations having the Cabal as their intel source might not always be correct:</span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.lindseywilliams.net/lindsey-williams-goldseek-radio-chris-waltzek-december-2013-post/">http://www.lindseywilliams.net/lindsey-williams-goldseek-radio-chris-waltzek-december-2013-post/</a></span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The collapse of the current financial system is inevitable after the Resistance removed the vast majority of physical gold from the Cabal in early 2012. That gold was underwriting the financial system and after it was gone, a countdown clock for the complete system meltdown was triggered and its collapse is expected soon. Some people expect this to happen as late as 2015:</span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.wonksmedia.com/555plan.pdf">http://www.wonksmedia.com/555plan.pdf</a></span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">Some other people much sooner:</span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.ascensionwithearth.com/2013/12/wow-current-stock-market-graph-matches.html">http://www.ascensionwithearth.com/2013/12/wow-current-stock-market-graph-matches.html</a></span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">It am not at liberty yet to disclose any timeline for those events. The only thing I can say is that the moment of total meltdown of the current financial system is the last possible moment for the Event to occur, regardless of everything.</span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">There have been some drastic developments regarding the Event during the last weekend. Special task force of the Resistance, codenamed RM2m, was within 45 minutes of triggering the Event on Saturday after the Archons (physical and non-physical) went a little bit too far with some of their actions. The Archons backed off at the last moment to prevent the Event from being triggered and were forced to negotiate their own safety and survival. In order to survive a little bit longer, they were forced to deconstruct Dom33, their plan of retaliation when the Event happens. </span><br /> <br /> <span class="font-size-3">They were also forced to surrender full protection of the top level people within the Cabal, who were until now able to conduct their deeds with physical Archons covering their backs. As the physical Archons are now more concerned with their own safety than with safety of the Cabal, the Cabal might find out that if they do something negative, strange things might begin happening to them. The old order that worked in their favor for thousands of years has been severely disrupted. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">There is a significant number of agents of the Resistance on the surface of the planet now, doing »various things«. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The Archons did not handle those changes easily. An unconfirmed source stated that one senior member of the Orsini family committed suicide in his apartment in Rome this Saturday, while the Farnese are seriously considering their surrender. Also the Eastern Alliance has allegedly made a trading attack on Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, disrupting Jesuit financial machinations. That bank is one of the most important banks in the current Jesuit-controlled banking system. It is owned by the Chigi family, a main black nobility family from Siena. </span><br /> <br /> <span class="font-size-3"><a style="clear:left;margin-right:1em;margin-bottom:1em;float:left;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oFfZ05_kjjU/UqYcaibqX5I/AAAAAAAABY8/iEnf-nwXA1o/s1600/Vision3.jpg"><img width="275" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-oFfZ05_kjjU/UqYcaibqX5I/AAAAAAAABY8/iEnf-nwXA1o/s400/Vision3.jpg" border="0" alt="Vision3.jpg" /></a></span><br /><div class="separator"></div></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">Most importantly, the RM2m special task force has proposed a plan to trigger the Event before the non-physical planes are totally cleared. They feel that this wait is simply taking too long to be tolerated and that some risks need to be taken. They are now aligning their plan with the non-terrestrial Light forces. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">However, for this plan to be successful, they need our cooperation. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">Triggering the Event before the non-physical planes are cleared may result in some additional loss of human lives as some people will become dysfunctional, unable to handle the Event and resort to violence. The Cabal is not so much of a problem as they will be either arrested or stardusted in the first few hours and even initially they will not be able to do that much damage now that their Doom33 plan has been compromised. The Illuminazi faction is now hastily devising their own retaliation plan after they lost support of the Archons for Doom33, but that plan would pose far lesser threat than former Doom33. Here I might need to add that all Jesuit and Illuminazi agents which have infiltrated various militias in the last few decades will be stardusted also if the try anything nasty. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The problem lies within the general population. Some people might get violent in their home situations and their families, old resentments suddenly being triggered and coming out to the surface. Also, violent street gangs might be formed briefly in the initial hours and maybe even days after the Event in some more remote areas without proper law enforcement being present. So I would suggest everybody to avoid violent confrontations in the first hours and days after the Event, regardless of the situation. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The RM2m special task force has asked if we can conduct a poll to determine what the opinion of the surface population is about their plan. The results of that poll will not determine the course of their actions, but will give them priceless feedback for them to be able to adjust their plan to accommodate the needs of the surface population more. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The first option is to trigger the Event as soon as possible, although this might pose a remote but potentially grave risk to life / physical safety of yourself and your loved ones.</span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The second option is to wait for the safest moment for the Event to occur, even if that means a significantly longer wait. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">You can vote on the upper right corner of this blog and I hope that many other blogs and websites will help spreading the word. </span></div><br /><div><span class="font-size-3">The RM2m special task force will give more updates in the near future as the situation unfolds.</span></div></div></div><div class="post-footer"><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="font-size-3">Posted by <a title="author profile" class="g-profile" href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/17475861052651288889">Cobra</a> at <a title="permanent link" class="timestamp-link" href="http://2012portal.blogspot.com/2013/12/financial-reset-and-event-update.html"><abbr title="2013-12-09T11:31:00-08:00" class="published">11:31 AM</abbr></a></span></div><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="font-size-3"><abbr title="2013-12-09T11:31:00-08:00" class="published"> </abbr></span></div><div class="post-footer-line post-footer-line-1"><span class="font-size-3"><abbr title="2013-12-09T11:31:00-08:00" class="published"> <a href="http://2012portal.blogspot.com/">http://2012portal.blogspot.com/</a></abbr></span></div></div></div>Will Italy Be The Spark That Sets Off Financial Armageddon In Europe?https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/will-italy-be-the-spark-that-sets-off-financial-armageddon-in2013-03-04T15:41:56.000Z2013-03-04T15:41:56.000ZAndreas Botsarishttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/AndreasBotsaris<div><p></p><p> </p><table id="layout" border="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr id="bodyrow"><td id="middle"><div id="post-5312" class="post-5312 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-europe tag-anti-austerity tag-austerity tag-austerity-programs tag-banks tag-beppe-grillo tag-bond tag-bond-yields tag-collapse tag-debt-to-gdp-ratio tag-debtor tag-european-financial-markets tag-fearing tag-financial tag-financial-armageddon tag-greece tag-in-europe tag-investors tag-italian tag-italian-bond-yields tag-italian-financial-system tag-italian-stocks tag-italy tag-japan tag-largest-banks tag-largest-debtor tag-national-debt tag-panic tag-recession tag-rejected-austerity tag-silvio-berlusconi tag-spain tag-stocks tag-the-future tag-the-united-states tag-vote odd"><div class="post-headline"><h1><span class="font-size-5">Will Italy Be The Spark That Sets Off Financial Armageddon In Europe?</span></h1></div><div class="post-byline"><span class="font-size-3"><img alt="" src="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/icons/user.gif" /> By Michael, on February 26th, 2013 </span></div><div class="post-byline"><div style="width:36px;height:21px;bottom:0px;line-height:0px;overflow:hidden;vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block;"><div style="margin:0px;padding:0px;width:32px;height:20px;line-height:normal;text-indent:0px;font-size:1px;vertical-align:baseline;float:none;display:inline-block;"><span class="font-size-3"></span></div></div></div><div class="post-byline"></div><div class="post-byline"><span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;display:inline-block;" class="font-size-3"><span><img style="top:-7px;width:19px;height:19px;right:-7px;display:none;max-height:19px;max-width:19px;" src="http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-big.png" width="19" height="18" alt="check-big.png" /></span></span></div><div class="post-byline"><span class="font-size-3">" displaytext="twitter""> <span style="color:#000000;text-decoration:none;display:inline-block;"><span><img style="top:-7px;width:19px;height:19px;right:-7px;display:none;max-height:19px;max-width:19px;" src="http://w.sharethis.com/images/check-big.png" width="19" height="18" alt="check-big.png" /></span></span></span></div><div class="post-bodycopy clearfix"><p><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://thetruthwins.com/" target="_blank"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-5313" alt="Will Italy Be The Spark That Sets Off Financial Armageddon In Europe" src="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Will-Italy-Be-The-Spark-That-Sets-Off-Financial-Armageddon-In-Europe-300x199.jpg" width="400" height="265" /></a></span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Is the financial collapse of Italy going to be the final blow that breaks the back of Europe financially? Most people don't realize this, but Italy is actually the third largest debtor in the entire world after the United States and Japan. Italy currently has a debt to GDP ratio <a title="of more than 120 percent" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/the-sovereign-debt-bubble-will-continue-to-expand-until-bang-the-system-implodes"><strong><font color="#4F809E">of more than 120 percent</font></strong></a>, and Italy has a bigger national debt than anyone else in Europe does. That is why it is such a big deal that Italian voters have just overwhelmingly rejected austerity. The political parties led by anti-austerity candidates Silvio Berlusconi and Beppe Grillo did far better than anticipated. When you combine their totals, they got more than 50 percent of the vote. Italian voters have seen what austerity has done to Greece and Spain and they want no part of it. Unfortunately for Italian voters, it has been the promise of austerity that has kept the Italian financial system stable in recent months. Now that Italian voters have clearly rejected austerity, investors are fearing that austerity programs all over Europe may start falling apart. This is creating quite a bit of panic in European financial markets right now. On Tuesday, Italian stocks had their <a title="worst day in 10 months" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-26/italian-stocks-sink-most-in-six-months-after-election.html" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">worst day in 10 months</font></strong></a>, Italian bond yields rose by the most that we have seen <a title="in 19 months" href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-26/europe-closes-italys-worst-day-19-months" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">in 19 months</font></strong></a>, and the stocks of the two largest banks in Italy both fell <a title="by more than 8 percent" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-26/italian-stocks-sink-most-in-six-months-after-election.html" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">by more than 8 percent</font></strong></a>. Italy is already experiencing its fourth recession since 2001, and unemployment has been steadily rising. If Italy is now "ungovernable", as many are saying, then what does that mean for the future of Italy? Will Italy be the spark that sets off financial armageddon in Europe?</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">All of Europe was totally shocked by the election results in Italy. As you can see from the following excerpt from a <a title="Bloomberg article" href="http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2013-02-26/italian-stocks-sink-most-in-six-months-after-election.html" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">Bloomberg article</font></strong></a>, the vote was very divided and the anti-austerity parties did much better than had been projected...</span></p><blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">The results showed pre-election favorite Pier Luigi Bersani won the lower house with 29.5 percent, less than a half a percentage point ahead of Silvio Berlusconi, the ex-premier fighting a tax-fraud conviction. Beppe Grillo, a former comedian, got 25.6 percent, while Monti scored 10.6 percent. Bersani and his allies got 31.6 percent of votes in the Senate, compared with 30.7 percent for Berlusconi and 23.79 percent for Grillo, according to final figures from the Interior Ministry.</span></p></blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">So what do those election results mean for Italy and for the rest of Europe?</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Right now, there is a lot of panic about those results. There is fear that what just happened in Italy could result in a rejection of austerity <a title="all over Europe" href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/100492602" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">all over Europe</font></strong></a>...</span></p><blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">"I think the election results (or lack thereof) are a negative for the euro<strong>,</strong> which will likely keep the currency pressured for some time," Omer Esiner, chief market analyst for Commonwealth Foreign Exchange, told me. But it's not just the political uncertainty in Italy, he adds. "The shocking gains made by anti-establishment parties in Italy signal a broad-based frustration with austerity among voters and a decisive rejection of the policies pushed by Germany in nations across the euro zone's periphery. That theme revives unresolved debt crisis issues and <strong>could threaten the continuity of reforms across other countries in the euro zone."</strong></span></p></blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">And the financial markets have clearly interpreted the election results in Europe as a very bad sign. <a title="Zero Hedge" href="http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-02-26/europe-closes-italys-worst-day-19-months" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">Zero Hedge</font></strong></a> summarized some of the bad news out of Europe that we saw on Tuesday...</span></p><blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3"><strong>Swiss 2Y rates turned negative</strong> once again for the first time in a month; EURUSD relatively flatlined around 1.3050 (250 pips lower than pre-Italy); <strong>Europe's VIX exploded to almost 26% (from under 19% yesterday)</strong>; and 3-month EUR-USD basis swaps plunged to their most liquidity-demanding level since 12/28. Spain and Italy (and Portugal) were the most hurt in bonds today as 2Y Italian spreads broke back above 200bps (surging over 50bps casting doubt on OMT support) and 3Y Spain yields broke above 3% once again. The Italian equity market suffered its equal biggest drop in 6 months falling back to 10 week lows (and down 14% from its end-Jan highs). <strong>Italian bond yields (and spreads) smashed higher - the biggest jump in 19 months as BTP futures volume exploded in the last two days</strong>.</span></p></blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">Not that things in <a title="Europe" href="http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com/archives/category/europe"><strong><font color="#4F809E">Europe</font></strong></a> were going well before all this.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">In fact, the UK was just stripped of <a title="its prized AAA credit rating" href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/international-business/european-business/clouds-of-crisis-return-to-europe/article9052036/?cmpid=rss1" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">its prized AAA credit rating</font></strong></a>. That was huge news.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">And check out some of the other things that have been going on <a title="in the rest of Europe" href="http://www.theglobeandmail.com/report-on-business/international-business/european-business/clouds-of-crisis-return-to-europe/article9052036/?cmpid=rss1" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">in the rest of Europe</font></strong></a>...</span></p><blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">In Spain, a major real estate company, Reyal Urbis, collapsed last week, leaving already battered banks on the hook for millions of euros in losses. Meanwhile, the government faces a corruption scandal and a steady stream of anti-austerity demonstrations. Thousands of people took to the streets again on Saturday, protesting deep cuts to health and other services, as well as hefty bank bailouts.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Life is no better in a large swath of the broader EU. In Britain, Moody’s cited the continuing economic weakness and the resulting risks to the government’s tight fiscal policy for its rating cut. In Bulgaria, where the government fell last week and the economy is in a shambles, rightists who joined mass demonstrations across the country burned a European Union flag and waved anti-EU banners. Other austerity-minded governments in the EU face similar murky political futures.</span></p></blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">At this point, Europe is a complete and total economic mess and things are rapidly getting worse.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">And that is really bad news because Europe is already in the midst of a recession. In fact, according <a title="to the BBC" href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-21455423" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">to the BBC</font></strong></a>, the recession in the eurozone got even deeper during the fourth quarter of 2012...</span></p><blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">The eurozone recession deepened in the final three months of 2012, official figures show.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">The economy of the 17 nations in the euro shrank by 0.6% in the fourth quarter, which was worse than forecast.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">It is the sharpest contraction since the beginning of 2009 and marks the first time the region failed to grow in any quarter during a calendar year.</span></p></blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">But this is just the beginning.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">The truth is that government debt is not even the greatest danger that Europe is facing. In reality, a collapse of the European banking system is of much greater concern.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Why is that?</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Well, how would you feel if you woke up someday and every penny that you had in the bank was gone?</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">In the U.S. we don't have to worry about that so much because all deposits are insured by the FDIC, but in many European countries things work much differently.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">For example, just check out what <a title="Graham Summers" href="http://gainspainscapital.com/2013/02/22/europes-fine-just-ask-depositors-who-saw-their-savings-go-to-zero/" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">Graham Summers</font></strong></a> recently had to say about the banking system in Spain...</span></p><blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">It’s a little known fact about the Spanish crisis is that when the Spanish Government merges troubled banks, it typically swaps out depositors’ savings for <em>shares</em> in the new bank.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">So… when the newly formed bank goes bust, “poof” your savings are GONE. Not gone as in some Spanish version of the FDIC will eventually get you your money, but gone as in gone forever (see the above article for proof).</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">This is why Bankia’s collapse is so significant: in one move, former depositors at seven banks just lost virtually everything.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">And this in a nutshell is Europe’s financial system today: a totally insolvent sewer of garbage debt, run by corrupt career politicians who have no clue how to fix it or their economies… <strong>and which results in a big fat ZERO for those who are nuts enough to invest in it.</strong></span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Be warned. There are many many more Bankias coming to light in the coming months. So if you have not already taken steps to prepare for systemic failure, you NEED to do so NOW. We’re literally at most a few months, and very likely just a few weeks from Europe’s banks imploding, potentially taking down the financial system with them. Think I’m joking? The Fed is pumping hundreds of BILLIONS of dollars into EU banks <em>right now</em> trying to stop this from happening.</span></p></blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">Like Graham Summers, I am extremely concerned about the European banking system. Europe actually has a much larger banking system than the U.S. does, and if the European banking system implodes that is going to send huge shockwaves to the farthest corners of the globe.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">But if you want to believe that the "experts" in Europe and in the United States have "everything under control", then you might as well stop reading now.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">After all, they are very highly educated and they know what they are doing, right?</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">But if you want to listen to some common sense, you might want to check out this very ominous warning <a title="from Karl Denninger" href="http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=217965" target="_blank"><strong><font color="#4F809E">from Karl Denninger</font></strong></a>...</span></p><blockquote><p><span class="font-size-3">I hope you're ready.</span></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><em>Congress has wasted the time it was given by the Europeans getting things "temporarily" under control. But they didn't actually get anything under control, as the Italian elections just showed.</em></span></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><em>Now, with the budget over there at risk of being abandoned, and fiscal restraint being abandoned (note: exactly what the US has been doing) the markets are recognizing exactly the risk that <strong>never in fact went</strong> away over the last couple of years.</em></span></p><p><span class="font-size-3"><em>It was hidden by lies, just as it has been hidden by lies here.</em></span></p><p><span class="font-size-3">Bernanke's machinations and other games "gave" the Congress four years to do the right thing.

Yes, I have also experienced it. It is a term used to describe what one could call a collapse of a perceived meaning in life…an eruption into your life of a deep sense of meaninglessness. The inner state in some cases is very close to what is conventionally called depression. Nothing makes sense anymore, there’s no purpose to anything. Sometimes it’s triggered by some external event, some disaster perhaps, on an external level. The death of someone close to you could trigger it, especially premature death, for example if your child dies. Or you had built up your life, and given it meaning – and the meaning that you had given your life, your activities, your achievements, where you are going, what is considered important, and the meaning that you had given your life for some reason collapses.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="font-size-3">It can happen if something happens that you can’t explain away anymore, some disaster which seems to invalidate the meaning that your life had before. Really what has collapsed then is the whole conceptual framework for your life, the meaning that your mind had given it. So that results in a dark place. But people have gone into that, and then there is the possibility that you emerge out of that into a transformed state of consciousness. Life has meaning again, but it’s no longer a conceptual meaning that you can necessarily explain. Quite often it’s from there that people awaken out of their conceptual sense of reality, which has collapsed.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="font-size-3">They awaken into something deeper, which is no longer based on concepts in your mind. A deeper sense of purpose or connectedness with a greater life that is not dependent on explanations or anything conceptual any longer. It’s a kind of re-birth. The dark night of the soul is a kind of death that you die. What dies is the egoic sense of self. Of course, death is always painful, but nothing real has actually died there – only an illusory identity. Now it is probably the case that some people who’ve gone through this transformation realized that they had to go through that, in order to bring about a spiritual awakening. Often it is part of the awakening process, the death of the old self and the birth of the true self.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="font-size-3">The first lesson in A Course in Miracles says “Nothing I see in this room means anything”, and you’re supposed to look around the room at whatever you happen to be looking at, and you say “this doesn’t mean anything”, “that doesn’t mean anything”. What is the purpose of a lesson like that? It’s a little bit like re-creating what can happen during the dark night of the soul. It’s the collapse of a mind-made meaning, conceptual meaning, of life… believing that you understand “what it’s all about”. With A Course in Miracles, it’s a voluntary relinquishment of the human mind-made meaning that is projected, and you go voluntary into saying “I don’t know what this means”, “this doesn’t mean anything”. You wipe the board clean. In the dark night of the soul it collapses.</span><br /><span style="font-family:Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="font-size-3">You are meant to arrive at a place of conceptual meaninglessness. Or one could say a state of ignorance – where things lose the meaning that you had given them, which was all conditioned and cultural and so on. Then you can look upon the world without imposing a mind-made framework of meaning. It looks of course as if you no longer understand anything. That’s why it’s so scary when it happens to you, instead of you actually consciously embracing it. It can bring about the dark night of the soul – to go around the Universe without any longer interpreting it compulsively, as an innocent presence. You look upon events, people, and so on with a deep sense of aliveness. Your sense the aliveness through your own sense of aliveness, but you are not trying to fit your experience into a conceptual framework anymore.</span></div><div class="jit-type-blogpostcontent jit-4dd2c2a063647071e573e9dc"><br /><span class="font-size-3"><a href="http://www.eckharttolle.com/">http://www.eckharttolle.com/</a></span></div></div></div></div></div>De Profundis (Lifeforce part 5)https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/de-profundis-lifeforce-part-52012-10-18T17:00:00.000Z2012-10-18T17:00:00.000ZChristopher Stewarthttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/ChristopherStewart<div><p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://poligraf.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/444px-de-profundis-1.jpg?w=444" alt="" /><br /> <span style="font-size:x-small;">(« De Profundis 1 » by <a href="http://www.kateparryevans.co.uk/gallery.html">Kate Parry Evans</a>)</span><br /></p><div align="center"><object width="290" height="24" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://kiwi6.com/swf/player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://kiwi6.com/swf/player.swf" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" id="audioplayer" width="290" height="24" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://kiwi6.com/swf/player.swf" flashvars="playerID=audioplayer&soundFile=http://k005.kiwi6.com/uploads/hotlink/40f4c27zv7&titles=poligraf.lifeforce.2009.part5.mp3" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="internal"></embed> </object></div><p></p><p>« De Profundis » is the fifth and final movement of « Lifeforce. » I discovered the title when time came to name the various sections of « Between Worlds. » I opened my encyclopedic dictionary and started looking for words beginning with « d » in the hopes of finding five suitable titles all starting with the same letter (I already had « Dissolution » and « Dance Of The Archetypes » at that point).

Inspiration is ignored or resisted and activity slowly subsides.

The band's original lead guitarist (Louis Fiset) used to shine here with a very effective gut wrenching slide guitar solo that sadly very few people have had the privilege to hear thus far (but don't worry, I still have tapes). The ending of the section used to feature a distorted guitar playing a funerary melody, which has evolved with time and is now harmonized and arranged for two clarinets and a trumpet.</p><p>Hoping it's not such a day of dereliction for you, here's the associated poetry : <br /> <br /> <em>Defeated<br /> Unwilling to go through<br /> This door of innovation<br /> Not knowing the courage<br /> For more transformation<br /> <br /> Disjointed<br /> Unwilling to believe<br /> This voice of intuition<br /> Not knowing the virtue<br /> Of its revelation<br /> <br /> Defensive<br /> Unwilling to concede<br /> These proofs of divination<br /> Not knowing the release<br /> Of exoneration<br /> <br /> Depleted<br /> Unwilling to receive<br /> This gift of inspiration<br /> Not knowing the reward<br /> Of the culmination<br /> <br /> Delinquent<br /> Unwilling to honour<br /> These walls of limitation<br /> Not knowing the insight<br /> That they are instruction<br /> <br /> Degraded<br /> Unwilling to resist<br /> This sweet song of temptation<br /> Not knowing the setback<br /> Stemming from transgression<br /> <br /> Deflated<br /> Unwilling to elude<br /> This pull of gravitation<br /> Not knowing the lightness<br /> Of high elevation<br /> <br /> Derelict<br /> Unwilling to go on<br /> This road of liberation<br /> Not knowing the distance<br /> From here to completion</em><br /></p><p>As I reread the verses, I am reminded of this quote by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl_Jung">Carl Gustav Jung</a> :</p><blockquote>The foundation of all mental illness is the unwillingness to experience legitimate suffering.</blockquote><p></p><div align="center">·</div><div style="font-size:x-small;border:1px solid #AAAAAA;">« Lifeforce » is the story of a personal catastrophe, an individual end of the world, beginning from a state of inspiration and hyperactivity, through doubt, destabilization, failure, consternation, collapse, and then on to relativisation, assessment, the return of hope, and renewal.</div></div>Infused (Lifeforce part 3)https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/infused-lifeforce-part-32012-10-04T17:00:00.000Z2012-10-04T17:00:00.000ZChristopher Stewarthttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/ChristopherStewart<div><p style="text-align:center;"><img src="http://poligraf.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/444px-tea-in-the-studio.jpg?w=444" alt="" /><br /> <span style="font-size:x-small;">(« <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/poligraf/51881970/lightbox/#/photos/poligraf/51881970/">Tea In The Studio</a> » by <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/poligraf/">poligraf</a>)</span><br /></p><div align="center"><object width="290" height="24" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data="http://kiwi6.com/swf/player.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never" ></param><param name="allowNetworking" value="internal" ></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque" ></param><param name="movie" value="http://kiwi6.com/swf/player.swf" ></param><embed wmode="opaque" id="audioplayer" width="290" height="24" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://kiwi6.com/swf/player.swf" flashvars="playerID=audioplayer&soundFile=http://k005.kiwi6.com/uploads/hotlink/0nerp42dm0&titles=poligraf.lifeforce.2009.part3.mp3" allowscriptaccess="never" allownetworking="internal"></embed> </object></div><p></p><p>« Infused » is the third movement of the suite and is intended to communicate the energy felt in the state of inspiration and hyperactivity, prior to the collapse.</p><p>The clip presents the solo on which the section opens, followed by verse, build-up, and first chorus.</p><p>The lyrics to the choruses were inspired by « Lift up your heads, O ye gates » from Handel's « Messiah » that I happened to hear while pondering the composition during the Christmas holidays a few years ago. <br /> <br /> <em>Heighten awareness beyond material<br /> Question the sensing, master imagining<br /> Guided by the quest, fired by the plight<br /> Follow the insight, further the need to uncover<br /> <br /> So many ways this could fail, so many pitfalls<br /> Yet there would not be a point if not for these walls<br /> All the difficulties of the world can’t make this fall apart<br /> No hurdle is too high for the heart<br /> <br /> Lift your head up – so much to be done, so much to be said<br /> Lift up your head – confrontation is no reason to stop<br /> Lift your head up – so much to be done, so much to be said<br /> Lift up your head – opposition will only make you thrive -

He offers a fairly simple world view, where sustainable agriculture and impending ecological collapse are concerned.</p><p>In a nutshell, he says the flying food in from other places is not sustainable. Hmm... You know what? He's right! The problem is, these days, most of us city-dwellers give little thought to how our food came to be at our grocery store. The Archbishop of Canterbury during WWII is quoted as saying, "We're only three meals away from anarchy." Hmm... I would have to agree with that one, too.</p><p>Anyway, where I am headed with all of this is Martin Palmer's notion that we live our lives as part of a narrative. He further presents evidence that each time we stop believing the current narrative, our societies collapse. In the past, it took 200 - 300 years to create a new narrative. This time, we simply do not have that amount of time. We need a new narrative, now. If you're reading this, chances are that you are already feeling this. After all, it is 2012--the Era of Ascension, right? The multitude of Occupy movements across the planet are attempting to create our new narrative--one that is all-encompassing and embraces us all, not as masters of the universe, but as part of something much, much bigger. </p><p>Take a look around you. Read a newspaper. Check out your local TV news. So much of what we see no longer makes sense. The old narrative in which we have been living no longer fits--we no longer believe in the story that we have been told about how life works.</p><p>What is the story in which you wish to live? One where there is peace, love, and abundance for all? Where we are part of a galactic society, where we are all citizens of this planet? Where we have renewable resources that do not cause illness or pollution? Where we are all caretakers of the planet, able to feed and clothe every single soul on this planet?</p><p>Now is the time to focus on the kind of world in which you wish to live. The Occupiers are out there, spreading the word, but it is just the beginning. We all need to do our part. Refuse to focus on disease, lack, poverty, and suffering. We have been doing that collectively for far too long. The new narrative also has a new theme, as the universe prepares to stop expanding from the Big Bang, and begin the Great Collapse, the dominant energy is shifting from masculine to feminine. Essentially, this means we no longer need to "make things happen". Instead, we need to "let them happen".</p><p></p><p>Food for thought.</p><p></p><p>Originally posted at <a href="http://lightworker29501.com/2012/03/24/changing-the-narrative-by-which-we-live/">http://lightworker29501.com/2012/03/24/changing-the-narrative-by-which-we-live/</a></p><p></p></div>Banking Collapse Announces the Beginning of the Golden Age - August 11, 2011https://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/profiles/blogs/banking-collapse-announces-the-beginning-of-the-golden-age-august2011-08-11T22:45:46.000Z2011-08-11T22:45:46.000ZKarma's Helperhttps://www.ashtarcommandcrew.net/members/KarmasHelper<div><p><img height="247" width="275" src="http://undermyskinfrance.files.wordpress.com/2010/07/burning-bank.jpg" id="il_fi" style="padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:8px;padding-top:8px;" name="il_fi" alt="burning-bank.jpg" /></p><p><em><strong><span class="font-size-3" style="color:#000000;">The Fed is desperately trying to maintain their stronghold on society by continuously pumping money back into the stock market to create a false illusion that their ink paper is actually worth something.</span></strong></em> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p align="justify">Those in tune with vibrational change can attest that the Golden Age has already begun! The years leading up to 2012 will usher in an unprecedented change in our global civilization where we will gradually transcend time and money as evidenced by the recent multitude of bank closings which is breaking down the paradigm of money in our society.<br /><strong><br />Changes in Time</strong><br /><br />Our perception of time, unknowingly to those who are not in tune to this anomaly, is being dissolved at a rapid pace. 100 years ago, our civilization was traveling by horse and buggy. We're currently at the saturation point of where technology is surpassing its convenience. The unprecedented amount of change in technology is evidence of how time has gradually broken down and reflected in the significant amount of change through the speeding up of our vibrational patterns. In the past thirty years, alone, technology has outpaced the cumulative effort of the thousands of years of technology in our civilization.<br /><br /><strong>Changes in Money</strong><br /><br />Our need for money is also collapsing within this paradigm. Currency had value at one point in time, where it could be measured and paid in silver. Now, money is represented by a piece of paper with incremental numbers on it and essentially only worth the paper it's printed on. How many trees need to be cut to maintain this facade of money?</p><p align="justify">Recently in the news, the IndyMac Bank was taken over by the company who instigated the need for our current dependency of currency, the Federal Reserve. The Fed is desperately trying to maintain their stronghold on society by continuously pumping money back into the stock market to create a false illusion that their ink paper is actually worth something. Now, their taking control of the collapsing banks in a last-ditch effort to impose fear and control over us. Their ship is sinking and they know it. <br /><br /><strong>Now What?</strong><br /><br />We have two basic emotions: fear and love. Unfortunately, many people will fear losing their ink paper but now is the time to embrace the change that is occurring. <br /><br />Think of it this way: Each time a bank closes or is taken over by the Federal Reserve, means we're one step closer to the full implementation of the Golden Age! <br /><br />The game is over, my friends. They lost and we won so don't let the illusion of money, time or fear-based politics get to you. All of our souls chose to be here RIGHT NOW to make a difference in this world and to witness the start of the Golden Age. <br /><br />All of our souls, without exception, thought we could overcome the fear-based mentality to make a difference in this world. The powers that be knew this and developed a structure system that kept us locked inside-the-box through the media and what we learned in school, essentially cultivating our minds to THEIR agenda. As our minds are opening up to the truth, we see through their illusion and we're opening up our potential to the unlimited possibilities that exist outside-the-box. <br /><br /><strong>The Best Time to be Alive</strong><br /><br />This is the most exciting time to be alive! How many people can say they personally witnessed the end of time and money? This is why we're here, because we wanted to be one of those witnesses. There may never be another opportunity to be alive in such a trying, yet wonderful time in which we're experiencing.<br /><br />Please remember, each time we buy into their fear, we continue to empower their illusion. Conversely, each time we see this moment as a rare time to be alive and appreciate the reasons WHY we're here, we'll continue to collapse the current paradigm as we enter into our Golden Age debut.</p><p align="justify"><img height="288" width="885" src="http://static.flickr.com/29/51758485_1f162ecea4_o.gif" style="padding-bottom:8px;padding-right:8px;padding-top:8px;" alt="51758485_1f162ecea4_o.gif" /></p><p align="justify"> </p><p align="justify"> </p><p align="justify"><a href="http://www.in5d.com/the-golden-age.html">http://www.in5d.com/the-golden-age.html</a></p><p align="justify"> </p><br /><p> </p></div>
