Meeting people during these changing times

[Matthew Clark]

hi hardknock,

i enjoyed your post and wanted to say thank you for it.

i've been in isolation as well. not only because i grew up in a "cage", but because everyone is "sleeping." all the things im now interested in learning are being studied by older people. have you watched 2012 enigma? i dont think i saw a person under 30 in the room.

i love the way you mention growing up in a cage - brilliant!
as for everyone in the audience of the 2012 enigma being over 30, well it was not all that long ago that if something like that was shown, say perhaps in the 70's, you would have noticed that nobody would have been in the audience under 60! progress is indeed being made and as i am 42, though feel like i am 18, over 30 is not that bad!!

the main thing is that people are beginning to awaken and as you are obviously young - i.e well under the age of 30(?) - count yourself as one of the lucky ones who have found the truth and have embraced it.
one thing i can assure you is that there are many young people who are finding enlightenment. i was watching a programme on the controversial channel (here in the uk) last night and they had a young guy in his teens on, who was telling all of his peers about what is really going on in the world. he had quite an audience i can tell you.

the more you change, the people, places and things will change as well i.e. going to bars and clubs isnt the right place to find someone spiritually developed!

well put mate! if i am correct in my assumption that you are young - then you are indeed an old soul!

stay away from the superficial, and the egotystical. you can't find this out by the car that they drive, though, so to speak.

yep an old soul with wise words!

my issue is unresolved karma and/or the need to be neglected growing up to learn my path, but i'm not sure if that was entirely necessary!

not too sure what you mean by this remark, perhaps you could elaborate?

there are many people who feel at a loss just now, particularly as we approach 2012. whether it be a yearning for a relationship, a friendly ear or even something as simple as needing a friend who is spiritual in their nature.

we are all looking for definitive answers to our own questions but at the end of the day just trust in the knowledge they will all be answered - soon.

love and light to you all,

matt

i'm hopefully going to toronto for davids event, so if your going, ill see you there!

that's exactly what i was going to suggest. go to one of david's or a similar spiritually themed conference that sparks your interest. you'll meet lots of people! i know i did. of course they don't all live in my area but we do keep in touch and it's great.

i wanted to thank everybody for their contribution to this post. it seems that a lot of people are dealing with this sort of scenario right now as they're "in-between" realities right now.

personally i'm finding it helpful to keep a broad base of interests. when turning onto spiritual subjects, it's easy to *only* be interested in spirituality and try to make your friendships about spirituality, and then before long you're trying to convert everybody around you that you meet! i feel that spirituality can be balanced with other interests, and if you don't meet 'spiritual' friends you can form good friendships with people on other levels while still setting an example. i have an interest in foreign languages for instance, and can always meet people with whom i can practice this with, which (who knows) in itself may lead to other, deeper topics of interest.

i'm only bringing this up because i think it's very easy, once on the spiritual path, to reject people who are not spiritual. the truth is you really can't judge a book by its cover and a lot of people may in fact be quite spiritual, although they don't adhere to a particular system.

[note to mods: i am not sure where to put this so wherever you think is best then i am happy. i just really want to get this one off my chest.]

i feel like everyone is using this 2012 as a way to stay pacified and say, "well i don't have to actively do anything because when this ascension thing happens we will all be zipped away to lala land."

and i don't think that is it at all. i am in the camp that believes it is all about right now. and actively show in your own way that people are cared about, loved and respected. and try to lighten up some of this.

so lets rally around each other and do this thing now and not wait. i mean, this is probably what the illuminati/nwo families want us to do. think of how much more fear and control they could install if we just sit back and wait for an ascension theory in 2012.

i play a online game called world of warcraft sometimes and this one kid pm'd me and he said he was depressed and sucidal. so i spent a while talking to him and seeing where and how he can get some help. and told him if he ever needs to chat with me then i will. and it really made him feel better. but not only did it make him feel better but it made me feel better. i felt so good about myself that i tried to help and i felt the love. i have been feeling kind of isolated and alone too lately. so i felt like this was the answer. reach out.

who is with me on this one?

and also thank you to dw and all the mods here at divinecosmos for creating this space where we can all talk about this stuff.

the wait is the worst i think and getting me down in the dumps and you are so right its about now not tommorrow or the next day. its about each moment.

hi everyone,

i was just thinking about how i have changed my life completely over the last 5 years and how all that came about. 5 years ago i did not have one person i could talk to about spiritual matters and did not like my living situation one bit.....where i lived or who i lived with (husband). i had let myself become controlled and was not living my own life. i also finally let go of the boundaries society puts on us to stay married when it's just not working no matter how hard you try.

instead of going into depression after too many years of this i decided to do something about it. i prayed alot and started meditating and just asked god for one thing: that the right circumstances would present themselves every day so i could help others and be of service right where i was at the moment.

i happened to be a grocery store checker and boy the syncronicities that presented themselves after that were nothing short of amazing. it's like folks felt my love and knew i cared, but i was never overly serious . just gave food for thought and encouragement and some laughs to those that needed it and the most amazing conversations would ensue at the checkout line !

i started to feel so good at the end of each day about those i had made feel better i didn't care so much about my lousey personal situation. i made folks laugh alot and feel better about themselves and it was easy. always tried to be that way before, but know it was a real conscious thing.....like a mission god had given me........and i liked it alot . people would come in and tell me almost every day how i had made their day or helped them solve a problem etc. ok, so now i was feeling fulfilled and was smiling more and feeling almost giddy going to work in a crappy, low paying job in a unbelievably hot store at that !

then as i was noticing that i actually manifested this at work and so i began to think really big.......that i could get away from an extremely controlling and now increasingly scary husband. without much money at all i wanted to move to a more peaceful, loving and more beautiful environment. i would have dreams of what i wanted and was finally visited by my 'dead' brother who took me by the hand to show me the happy life that was just around the corner so i would be encouraged that i could make it happen. it was one of those dreams that was real, very real......i woke up in tears of joy, literally.

so in the end i moved, after asking my mom if she was ready to live with me and move 1200 miles away to an island neither one of us had ever seen but it sure looked good in the research i did online, although quite expensive to live there. mom's a brave soul and has always believed in me so she said sure, let's do it. a plan was hatched and we pulled it off and no amount of manuevering from my soon to be ex-husband could stop us (and boy howdy, did he try-i could write a book about that). i knew if i kept my mom close by he would not be so bold as to physically stop me with violence. i stunned him by moving my plan along very quickly and sure enough it worked out.

so mom and i arrived not knowing anyone at all but i did have a dream and it was to own a horse to trail ride and to be happy and surrounded by loving friends....in short to live a joyous life again.

i took one job after another, each better pay and better circumstances all found through networking and doing a stellar job no matter how mundane ...and folks do notice that quality. so within 1 yr of arriving i found myself making a darn good living cleaning houses for wealthy island folks and loving it. actually i made more money than i dreamed i ever could. i saved for a horse and found the perfect mare and we go riding almost every day in the most glorious old growth forest here you can imagine........just heaven on earth. i have 3 good girlfriends that i can discuss, in depth, the ascention and what is going on with our universe and all about soul growth, etc. i have 5 other good girlfriends that i go riding with too and we laugh and sing and have a ball trail riding.

i don't want a close dating type of relationship anymore, just too complicated for me at this stage in my life......been there, done that ! i just keep it simple and live in the moment completely, except for my now sporatic cleaning jobs.......i'm semi-retired now!!

a year ago i was asked to be a ranch caretaker for the horses here where i now live (same island) for a wonderful family and they provide mom and i with a beautiful guest house, gorgeous barn and pastures for my horses (i have 2 now). it's a 40 acre spectacular ranch with the most scenic views, eagles, deer, foxes etc roaming around 24/7 and the folks here really are happy with the job i do for their horses and the lessons and trail rides i give to their daughter....oh, and they only live here for 2 months a year....i have this ranch all to myself the rest of the year. they tell me all the time how lucky and happy they are to have found me......and wow, i feel the same, but i always give my 'all 'to everything i do for them.
example: their almost dead (no kidding) horse is now running around healthy and happy because i took the time and patience to use my expertise in alternative therapies on him and give him all the love and attention he deserves and was not getting. another is their daughter is now advancing in her riding and is so enthusiastic ...... she never had that with the caretakers before i arrived because the others did the least amount for the family and their horse as they could get away with. i on the other hand poured all of my love into fixing up their horse and making sure their daughter was happy and having fun learning to become an advanced rider.......she's 16 so her mom and dad are really happy she has such a positive focus now.

when i first saw this place it was exactly as i was shown in my dream. i pulled in the driveway and after a few seconds it hit me......this is it, the dream place i was shown...... and all the small details are here too...... you can guess my reaction. i had to control myself and not fall down on my knees in tears that i have been so blessed ....the owners here would have thought i was a complete nut job for sure !

moral to my story: believe in yourself, (and your guide ie, your higher self! )believe you two can manifest anything you desire, so go for your passion and don't settle for anything short of that. back all of that with working hard doing the best job at anything you do and staying in the moment with a joyous love in your heart for everyone and everything. wake up every single morning in a state of profound gratitude.

you can all do this too........go find your bliss (as joseph campbell used to say all the time)......it's out there waiting for you .......have the dream, do the work (with love and joy)......and be patient.......it'll happen for you too :-)

hope this gives those of you that are struggling in these times an idea of what's possible, what god wants for you too.

hi islandgirl,

thank you so much for that amazing story - very enjoyable :d

i have a proposal for you......

i have decided i want your life and here is how it will work.

first, we swap islands ok - the uk is an island after all so you may not notice too much of a difference from the one you are on.

i will tend the horses, clean the houses and do what needs to be done.

you on the other hand can look after my partner david and clean my house. oh and you can walk in the nearby woods with my dog max.

with your 3 + 5 good girlfriends, total 8, there are only 8 neighbours in my close so striking up friends here will match perfectly with what you have now. again you will barely notice a change to how things are with you now.

i have always got on better with woman, in fact i only have 1 male friend so to speak so i can socialise with your 8 x girlfriends.

i don't want a close dating type of relationship anymore, just too complicated for me at this stage in my life

perfect! my partner bats for the same side so no worries about striking up a relationship there then

regarding work, you can have my job with pleasure. you cant ride a 4 x legged animal to work but you can have my 4 x 4 which is actually better than a horse because i have never known a horse to have heating.


so what do you say? i will be sure to consult my higher self just to make sure i am ready to live on a beautiful island, tending to animals and singing to my hearts content whilst riding around a forest!! oh i will need to know what the weather is like before i decide.

seriously, what a wonderful story. you are an inspiration and may your happy life be blessed with even more love and joy.

you have proven the saying true... "the best things in life - arnt things".

love and light,

matt

cheri and others,

yes, it is about not waiting, but living it now... such a simple concept, yet so hard to practice daily.

so, as your daily reminder, look around you right now, sense what is around you right now, and if it feels appropriate, thank whatever has shown up at this moment.

peace to all of us...

islandgirl - that's a very inspiring story. it sounds like you really got lucky and things came together very well for you.

i don't know what the divine has in store for me. all i can attest to are having several dreams encouraging me to learn chinese, as well as dreams in which i was speaking in chinese or being in areas very much related to it. some of the dreams have been rather profound in scope, although very difficult to connect to 3d reality. so i did some self-study of chinese and took some classes in it in college, and have to say that i don't think it's very hard! i've also been learning german for several years and have a good command of it, and i think german is actually considerably harder.

because of this, i decided to major in international studies and should be done in just a few semesters (i've already filled the study abroad requirement, having studied in germany this summer). the universe has been very generous in practically giving me a full-ride all the way through, meaning i don't have to bother with pesky loans or any of that nonsense. after that the doors would be open to teach english almost anywhere in asia, although what other possibilities are open, i don't quite know. (keep in mind if you're interested in doing this, that you generally need a bachelor's degree in any subject. knowing the language isn't necessary, although i'm guessing it's helpful if you want to get around.) you have to look at the lives of other people who have gone down this road - look at benjamin fulford, who became fluent enough in japanese to write best-selling books in the language. i have to approach fulford with some skepticism, but this was still very inspiring to me.

why china (if china after all)? what role do they play in the upcoming events? this is the question that's on my mind now. everyone is talking about economic stuff. well, is there anything else, any other reason they should be an up-and-coming culture?

i just wanted to throw something in the mix here that has been on my mind and i have not really seen too much mention of it myself - but when you gain the knowledge of collective consciousness, and how we are all essentially one and connected in this way, the irony is we tend to become separated from those who have yet to get to the same point.

the original poster of this thread, made me think of this - because i think we tend to withhold ourselves from others on a natural level when we dont operate on the same frequency. and if the majority of the people we are surrounded by do not operate on the one we are currently on, it really diminishes the amount of people we have to find in common with, regardless of age group. but i think this is something thats more inner than outer, as its really us making the choice of withdrawing.

its hard not to, and thats one of the hurdles we must face - because prior to enlightenment (with which we are still guppies ourselves) we could spend much of our time focused on trivial things. material things. or controlling things. when the people you know become upset at the tiniest things, or focus all their energy into something that has no real purpose... in the past one could be sympathetic or supportive of these traits... but now, its hard to deal with.
i mean, for the longest time i wanted an iphone, but could never afford it, and after several years i gave up on it. but then, as i began to see material things as petty, and let go of my desire for it, to the point of essentially not even caring whether or not i ever had one... (ironically thats when one became available to me lol)... i lost all negativity that comes with watching others that had one. a mix of jealousy, and depression, dejection, and hopelessness. all that for a material object? once i changed how i see things, that dropped. but along with it i somehow lost the understanding of how others could feel it as i once had, so it became harder to listen to friends discuss material things they wanted to that level. which hastened seclusion.

but like foosnik i believe we are the change, and seclusion isnt the answer. we havent even begun to cross the hard part. i think we fall into the trap that the more enlightened we become, the more we think we are 'done', or 'have completed'. but thats not the case, instead we are post grads now lol even though we never finish school. we are now at the next hurdle... and that is being open and accessible. if we seclude ourselves - from any age group - we limit the power of synchronicity. i remember david saying somewhere that most of us now, will act as guides - but i think that we are guides now, not just after ascension/evolvement.

and then theres another hurdle - risk of censure. after a millenia (at least) of censure, its inbred in us even at this level, that discussing any beliefs that oppose anothers results in a fight or flight situation. that you will either end up fighting, and if you dont want to face that scenario, instead you choose to avoid it. so many people think thats the only option, but as long as you firmly act upon your convictions that you respect the others opinion and voice your own without imposing yourself (and understanding you can still learn much from the other person), then you can have a good discussion without either of the two inbred responses.

we dont want people to think we are crazy, and sure its bound to happen if we leave ourselves open to discussion, but you know its important to remember that they do not walk away with nothing - after all they broached the subject in the first place which means they were open to search for the answers they seek.

not all of us are capable of putting ourselves out there. i am an extremely shy person around strangers, so its hard for me to put myself out there in that way. but im less shy online, and so what i have been finding for balance is to do what i can online. like blogging, pointing my email siggie to divine cosmos, posting in myspace and facebook status, or twitter some interesting things i come across. i post my about me about what i have come to know. if someone asks me anything, i answer.
if i receive a friend request from a stranger - as long as they are not a spammer, i approve them. i believe synchronicity points people in our direction. what path did they take to find you?

when this happens, not only have i met some like minded people i never would have so far, but i also feel more connected. and i dont see age anymore. its not that i ever cared how old my friends were, for example, but i was still aware of it. now, i dont even know, and when i find out i promptly forget. lol we are timeless, after all.

i believe we are already evolving, everyone, and that its like a flower is within us and its just starting to blossom and absorb the light of the sun.
