LAUGHING WATER FARM

The early spring is propelling us to get inside projects finished before we need to do gardening chores and other outside activities. Jamie makes hand hooked rugs, using strips of wool she gets from old coats. She has been working on a carpet for the stairs, which has been a rather challenging project. Today, is the day, she lays it on the stairs; it is not a simple procedure. It is a very beautiful carpet and I could not do justice in an attempt to describe it. It is a magnificent addition to our household.

Everything on our homestead is going nicely. We are getting a gallon of milk a day from Lilly [goat] and Sophia had two very healthy doelings a few days ago. Starting tomorrow, we will get two gallons of milk a day. It will be time for cheese and yogurt making. Our chickens are laying enough, that we now have plenty for ourselves, and a, some, to give away.

Our sheep have yet to lamb; we have two ewes that could lamb any day and one that has a couple weeks to go. We just want a small herd, no more than seven, so we have plenty of pasture in case of drought. We do have more land that could be fenced in for pasture; something we have been meaning to do for some time.

We have turkeys and geese laying. I generally let the geese raise their own children. They are good parents and produce a good batch of goslings. They do a good job of protecting them from predators until their adolescence and then they often fall prey to the foxes that roam our neighborhood. Adult geese are safe from foxes, but half grown ones seem to be their favorite food.

I have not had success in letting turkeys hatch their eggs. Usually, I collect them and incubate a few. I sell about thirty young turkeys a year and raise up ten or so for ourselves. I may let the turkeys set on their eggs this year and hope for the best. We have a lot to do this Summer and it would be nice to be relieved of this chore. I know other people have had success letting their turkeys set.

Well, this has been a Laughing Water Farm update.

WHILE WE WAIT

There is so much going on and so little I can report on, with any confidence of accuracy. There is going to be an explosion of information coming forth any day now. An example of government managed news is the reporting on the recent massacre in Afghanistan. Many people are suspicious of the lone soldier explanation and for good reason. All independent reporting, i.e. Afghan, has been ignored. If you are interested in a more complete description of this event just Google Afghan massacre cover-up. I won't go into it here, as I am not sure it is helpful, other than to drive home, "what you think of as news - isn't". 

It is not good for my consciousness to constantly attempt to uncover every untruth, portrayed in the media. I already know that there is little truth to be found and it is more important for me to stay focused on the Light. This is a highly individual choice; when I watch the news, I see it as something somebody believes and it is interesting to see what the latest propaganda is. When it disturbs me I turn it off. It would, probably, be better not to watch it at all.

I think we do much better for mankind if we continue to focus on what is loving about our world. Imagine yourself as a generator of unconditional love. Constantly beam out love to those around you and the rest of the world. Especially when you find yourself absorbed in some negativity; remind yourself that you are here to shower love upon the world. Practice beaming unconditional love into the hearts and minds of all.

I know waiting is hard. If you remember to love; it will be easier. It won't be long for the truth to be known.

Love and Peace, Gregg

A SUNDAY IN SPRING

It seemed like late May yesterday and today it is like the middle of April. It is Sunny, but brisk, only 52 degrees F, unlike yesterdays near 70. It is a very beautiful Spring day. I spotted a crocus emerging through the leaves, on our lawn, thrusting its little purple flower toward the Sun. The ice is out on our local lake, the mallards and swans are back, many smaller birds, Spring must be a month ahead of schedule. I like it.

I apologize for not blogging these last few days. I have been preoccupied. A family member, a year older than myself, has been going through some serious health problems. I have been having some interesting sympathy symptoms. My symptoms do not reflect his nor are they very serious; yet, I know I am having them because of my deep connection to him. Although, we have not been close for many years, we have a deep and abiding connection.

My preoccupation has not been related to mortality, at least not directly; death has not been much of an issue for me, in a long time. What for and why we are in these bodies is interesting. What do we learn, by the experience of our bodies slowly deteriorating, as we age? I have been more than willing to experience this as I know there has to be significant learning in it. Besides, I never noticed I had a choice.

I am convinced that we live forever. I feel that I have had many past lives. I think we continue to be reborn until we can live, wholly, in unconditional love. It is not something one can prove and certainly not something one should try to convince any body of; it is a conclusion I reached after years of contemplation. It is the only thing that makes sense to me.

From the time I was very young, I had the feeling that we were at an end of one age and the dawn of a new one. I felt I was one of those folks whose job was to help people welcome this new age. This was long before I heard anything about the Age of Aquarius, the Mayan calender etc. etc. Of course those things fit into my preconceived ideas, even though I was skeptical of them. Now, I feel we are right on the cusp of great changes.

I am frustrated that I can't demonstrate more evidence of the great changes that are taking place. The internet is full of interesting things. I don't know if they are true. I am convinced that the resignations of bank officials is true. I am close to believing there has been mass arrests of people making up the cabal. It is hard to accept rumors that have no confirmation in the main stream media and that is paradoxical, as the MSM is not to be believed. There should be a break through. I think the MSM will be broadcasting information that is startling but with the ring of truth, soon.

I do see strong evidence of the change, in the love I experience every day, from the random people I meet. I do see love everywhere. It is increasing.

I hope, wherever you are, your enjoying a Spring day.

Love and Peace, Gregg

RAIN

We have been threatened by droughty conditions since we have had so little snow this winter. It is a relief that we got a little rain last night and there is more forecast all week. We live on clay, so we are better off than our neighbors who live on sand. We have enough moisture in the soil to last a couple weeks but I would hate to see the potholes dry up. It would be a good thing to get a couple inches of rain.

My guidance lately has been to forget about the past. It has always been my philosophy on a personal level, but I do love history. Recently, I stated that I was determined to find out the source of the denigration of women and I still hope to find it. However, we are moving forward very rapidly and just as an individual  can give up all the whys and wherefores of their growth, so can we collectively. We are moving towards full consciousness; when we achieve it, we will know the answers. In the meantime, getting tangled up in solving riddles will only hold us back. We can be free from the past in our minds even without knowing the answers. In this illusion, there are some things so unknowable, there are no questions leading to them.

The suggestion, to give up the past, has been coming to me from several sources. Of course, I have been hearing this for forty years but lately there is an urgency about it. Whether as individuals or a group we largely create the future from the past. Experiences from the past that we still entertain, especially those that still fester, exist in our present mind space and influence our future. In other words, we create the future from what we can't get over in the past. So the message I have been receiving lately is: GET OVER IT.

We need to expand that empty space inside us. That place of no thought. That is where creation comes from. That is the place of love. That is the place of no judgement, no rules, no preconceived ideas, no limitations. It contains only the energy of love. Which is everything.

Meditation is helpful, but we can learn to be alert to what is going on in our minds, without it. We can learn to be the gate keeper of our minds and not allow in what we don't want. Thoughts, that we don't want, will slip through, but we can learn to recognize them and let them pass without attaching to them. When you find yourself dwelling on the past "change your mind".

In the very near future, the truth of our history will be revealed. There will be many, many things discovered that will be very painful to contemplate. You may respond with anger. Remember what I say here; you will find out things, that you would never believe possible, now. Without preparation, these disclosures could provoke denial or rage. Let us be able to look at them in peace. We have been manipulated in almost every way possible by those seeking wealth and power.  It doesn't matter any more. It is over.

We are now free, although we don't recognize it, yet. We are on the verge of experiencing the world created by love. It is actually not a "new world", it has always been here. It is, as if we have taken off some scratched up, foggy glasses so we could see what was always here.

Love and Peace,  Gregg

SUMMER?

Summer came in one day. Will it last? I saw a butterfly yesterday; a little orange and brown one, the size of a half dollar. I will have to look it up when I locate my butterfly book. Actually, the book is in the bookcase right behind me. I could be afflicted with laziness. The sandhill cranes are making a racket; the air is filled with other bird noises and fat robins are hopping around the yard. The world has sure changed from a day or two ago.

I am trying to find the origin of the fear of sexuality and the demonization of women. It really got cranked up with Augustine and the Christians of that era, but it predates that period by several hundred years and perhaps longer. Although, it was a preexisting  idea, Augustine made it much worse by linking it with original sin and claiming the sin was carried on by sexual intercourse. Eventually, those early church fathers believed all pleasure was sinful.

I understand how a group of people, i.e. early church fathers, could be nuts; we see it all the time and especially now. But why did so many people go along with it? How could anybody swallow such an incredibly stupid idea? What was the state of humanity at the time that lent itself to the acceptance of this madness? Remember that the three major religions of the Western World were well steeped in this madness. The fundamentalist versions of our religions still are.

It wouldn't matter to me one way or another if I didn't see this poison still operating in our society. You don't have to be religious to be affected by it. In fact you could be an atheist. We are all affected by this pernicious belief. How better to keep a society from being fully functional by pitting one gender against another. Emphasizing male aggression and dominance makes it easier to raise armies to conquer your neighbors. Is that the reason this idea was so exploited? Would war be possible without male dominance and exploitation of women? I am just asking, I don't know the answer.

It would be helpful to know how all this craziness started. I know we are getting over it, anyway. We can't have a world created by love until we do get over it. And we are getting over it. It is sometime helpful to understand the disease you are putting behind you. I will research the area until I have some reasonable hypothesis.

It is 70 degrees now and it appears it will be another marvelous day. I have much work to do outside but I am afflicted with Spring fever. After I get the dishes washed, I might just sit outside and soak up the energy from the earth.

Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Love and Peace, Gregg

EARLY SPRING

This is the longest I have gone without writing and not receive a curious e-mail wondering why. And I don't know why. It seems that time is flying by and if I miss the late morning hours I don't get to it. Another reason is there is so much going on that I can't substantiate. I don't like to bring something up that might not be true. If there are overwhelming rumors, I will.  All that I can say for sure is our economic situation is crumbling and the old lines of authority are no longer in control. The people who would like to stay in power are still able to use the mainstream media to their advantage. Nothing you hear or see has any credibility. Soon the media will begin to broadcast the truth. It will be obvious.

I don't see any evidence of the collapsing world, here on Laughing Water Farm. We are experiencing an early Spring. I saw a red-winged blackbird, a robin and the Canadian geese are back. Most of the snow is gone. I still have to haul water, as my hoses, that run under the grass, are still plugged with ice.

We now have goat's milk. Lilly is milking about a gallon a day; Sophia will be kidding soon, so we will have to make cheese to use all the milk.

As soon as the frost goes out of the ground, we will start putting a fence around our garden to keep out the deer. We have lived here for almost forty years and never had the problems with the deer, that we have had recently. They have damaged our fruit trees and help themselves to all sorts of vegetables. I am not much of a hunter; although, I like venison. These deer, however, need to be weeded out before hunting season. Most of my neighbors hunt; but last year, five deer were in the garden the day the season was over.

I am not practicing what I preach. I have a hard time staying in the moment and experiencing the love that is there. I feel this tremendous energy of change going on, yet I cannot put words to it. Although the feelings are largely positive, there exist a certain anxiety, also. I don't like that. It will pass. Peace lies under everything.

I am reading this wonderfully informative but disturbing book, "EUNUCHS FOR THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN" subtitle; Women, Sexuality, and the Catholic Church by Uta Ranke-Heinimann. I am not naive, I know how the church subjected women. Yet, confronting the horror of it is another thing! The degree, the church fathers were willing to distort scriptures and hunt for obscure passages, to maintain their belief in the inferiority of women and the evil of sexuality is astonishing. I am only half way through the book and I am already blown away. How could people be so incredibly stupid? And criminally stupid? These philosophies have ancient roots; they predate Christianity and have been a thorn in the side of humanity for thousands of years. I need to understand the origin of these strange beliefs and I will be writing more about it. It is amazing that anybody can be halfway functional with this horror in our collective background.

Some neighbors just dropped in. I need to be social. Love the one next to you and follow the light.

Love and Peace, Gregg

FRIDAY- IS IT SPRING?

I really enjoyed doing the chores this morning. I had a sense that Spring had arrived despite the chilly temperature and the mountains of snow yet to melt. Our week old buck [goat] has doubled in size; or it seems like it. He is at that stage where they are most darling. He can jump up and click his hooves in enthusiasm about life. There was such a powerful feeling that things were soon to burst forth.

That is the feeling I have about the entire world. I can't say it often enough that you should prepare yourself for events that you could not imagine. It will be all good! Many, however, will feel their world is turned upside down and will need reassurance. Their is no negative or downside about what is about to happen. It will happen fast and it may be disorienting. There soon will be acknowledgements of arrest made of people who are part of the cabal. According to rumor, several arrest have been made and the first indication that the press is breaking free, will be the dissemination of the information.

The dark are doing everything they can to hang on. They are trying to de-evolve us; drag us back to a time they are more comfortable with. Is this why they are, again, demonizing women? What do they gain by making women the enemy? How can a man seriously think of a woman as inferior. All the men, I know, are hopelessly dependent on women. That might be a little strong, but we sure don't want to get along without them.

Perhaps, it is because women embody love, compassion, cooperation, understanding etc. to a degree testosterone driven men don't. We are entering an age of feminine/masculine balance where aggression, competitiveness, physical strength will no longer dominate. Those traits most consistent with unconditional love will be emphasized.

The dark cabal represents the most extreme and even diabolical traits of humans. These traits are often distorted extremes of maleness. Aggression and competitiveness taken to an extreme degree, driving out all compassion and tenderness. This is what enabled them to amass power and wealth without concern for the rest of us. Demonizing women, then, would just be part of their play book.

It will not work. We are entering the "Age of the Woman". I don't mean a flip flop, where women will now dominate men. I mean an age where women will be fully appreciated for the beings they are. It will be marvelous! The men will be relieved and happy too.

Have a wonderful Friday.

Love and Peace, Gregg

WHAT'S HAPPENING?

I said at the conclusion of yesterdays blog that I would discuss what is happening behind the scenes. Let us first talk about the Main Stream Media. The MSM has been consolidated, over the years, to the point where five people own almost 90% of it. This ownership is for control as well as profit. Nothing and I mean nothing you read or hear from these sources can be accepted as truth. Sure some of it might be, but the individual will have a tough time sorting out the facts from the propaganda. The media passes on only the information that is approved by their controllers and they invent a lot of it.

How are we to know what is true or not? Look at the trends. The powers that be want control of the worlds oil supply and they will stop at nothing to obtain it. You can rely on absolutely nothing you read or hear from the MSM about Syria, Libya or Iran. All information is geared towards demonizing these countries as a way to justify their conquest. Now that we have overthrown the Libyan government, you suddenly don't hear anything about them. Now we are concentrating on Iran and Syria. Most of the information coming out of Syria is not true. Many of the scenes you see on television are old clips or shot somewhere else. You would need to be an expert to tell the difference. Movie making is a high art.

I only want to touch on these examples to make it clear that much of what you think you know is simply untrue. There are massive changes occurring behind the scenes. The result of these changes is going to be a change of consciousness; many of your most cherished beliefs will be challenged. It will become clear that humanity has been controlled for several thousand years by folks who were only into power and money. Our spiritual beliefs were hijacked by this group and religions were created to control the people.

Because the media is controlled by the cabal, we are not hearing about the relinquishment of power the dark is experiencing. For the last several thousand years, the powers that be have controlled the people with fear. It was fairly easy to pit one group against another and keep people divided against themselves. There have been many great teachers who came into the world to challenge this darkness and teach that All is Love. However, our group consciousness was not evolved enough to resist the dark's co-opting the teachings and incorporating them in their controlling religions. When the cabal finds their power slipping they start a war. War enables them to consolidate their power and gives them an opportunity to incite fear. Without fear, they have no power.

The cabal, the monied elite, the powers that be, the dark; it matters not what you call them, have been losing their grip on humanity. Their goal was to take over the worlds wealth by controlling the oil resources and the worlds financial markets. They made some major mistakes in their attempts to garner the worlds wealth and their greed led them into a trap where they will lose everything.

The creation of the internet undercut the ability of the dark to control the people via the MSM. People were waking up and they could connect with others that were waking up. Other versions of the news could be disseminated. Peoples ears were being tuned to tell truth from untruth. Suddenly we were contributing more love into the collective consciousness than fear. At that moment the cabal began to lose control; without fear they have no control.

Enough people now want to be sovereign beings; they want to be free. They recognize that freedom can only exist in an atmosphere that fosters unconditional love.

There are a great many rumors about the changes that are occurring, as I can confirm the information that comes to me I will pass it on. I can confirm that 116 high level bank officials have resigned recently, most in the last two weeks. I will pass on information as I know it.

The rumors that I allude to are all of a positive nature. Most clear is the collapse of the world predatory banking system. The resignations are apparently to avoid prosecution. Other rumors report that the cabal has been stymied in their attempts to create further war. There will not be a war with Iran or Syria. The cabal will continue to create as much disturbance as they can but they will not succeed at creating a major conflict.

We as a people have overcome the dark. We have defeated the fear based programs that have controlled us. Institutions that use fear as a basis for their existence will dwindle and wither away. We need to continue to look for love everywhere. Celebrate Life! Spread the Light! Know that paradise awaits us. Forgive ourselves for everything and forgive those who have yet to see.

Love and Peace,  Gregg

RECYCLING

I went to an environmental meeting last night where the featured speaker addressed recycling. It may have been the best presentation I have ever heard. It was intelligent, informative and was geared to involve the audience and get them aboard. Then, why was I mildly frustrated? Why wasn't I more involved and excited?

Here in Minnesota, we were first introduced to recycling in the late Sixties. As I remember, my first attempt at recycling was about 1968. There were very few outlets for the glass, cans etc. that were produced and everything had to be divided into categories; clear glass, green glass, brown glass etc. Cans had to have the labels peeled and the bottoms removed so they could be squished. Then, we thought, this was a stopgap measure to protect the planet until the real work could be done.

The real work started with attempts to reign in this growing monstrosity through legislation. Several attempts were made to regulate the container industry. The last one, I remember, was an attempt to curtail the use of aluminum cans. It had a lot of support and it looked like it might be passed by the legislator. Continental can was able to rally their fellow manufacturers and with union support they were able to kill the bill. Since then I don't know of any significant legislation that attempts to get at the heart of the problem.

Then the propaganda machine cranked up and attempted to promote recycling as the answer to the problem. I never agreed with this. As far as I was concerned it was like giving aspirin for a headache and ignoring that there might be a brain tumor. Now our patient, Mother Earth, is gravely ill and we, still, are only treating the symptoms.

Hey! I am not against recycling. It keeps our minds in the game and I agree; what else can we do? Every attempt at dealing with the problem is shot down and smothered by those who are gaining from this current nightmare. However, our patient might become comatose if we don't deal with this problem soon! The problem, of course, is greed fostered by this system, we know as capitalism. It is not free enterprise! It is a system where those who have the money, have the power and they do exactly what they want. If they can't make money they won't do it.

If the indications are correct, capitalism is coming down. {I hope to write more on this tomorrow} We will have a chance to reinvent the system. Let's remember. We don't want to make anything we can't dispose of gracefully and without damage to our Mother. Almost all food containers can be reused, not recycled which is a waste of energy, but reused until they are worn out. Glass last and lasts and lasts. If we think we need plastic, we are certainly smart enough to make plastic that is reusable.

A much more lethal problem to Mother Earth is the chemical pollution that is created directly and indirectly by manufacturing, agriculture, war etc. We don't need any of this, do we?

Tomorrow I want to write about the changes that are taking place that are not being addressed by the media.

It is a beautiful day. Enjoy it.

Love and Peace,  Gregg
