Flower Power

Sharon,

I thought I would take this opportunity to share some imagery I have
been creating lately. It seems that the energy that I have been
drawing to myself recently has involved creating what I am looking for
in the right moment. It's sort of a "seek and ye shall find" energy.
Recently, it's been a matter of looking for something, and managing to
find myself inexplicably drawn to the exact spot where the thing is
hiding, even if it's some obscure spot that I never would have thought
to look if I were relying on intellect alone. Mind you, the Shift-y
thing about this is not that I found something I was looking for.
People have been doing that for thousands of years. The Shift-y thing
about this is the idea of setting my sights on an outcome that I
wanted to create, and successfully creating it.

Then, just yesterday, I arrive at work and find that a bunch of
meetings have been rescheduled. As it turned out, a big meeting was
now scheduled right at the same time as an appointment that I had. The
office where I had the appt is right downstairs from where I work, so
I decided to go there and see if I could reschedule. Just when I get
to the door, I see the person I had the appointment with, coming down
the hallway. I tell her that the schedule time doesn't work anymore,
and she asks if I'm free for right then. I tell her I am, and just
like that, everything's cool. Again, this sort of scenario has
happened throughout history. The thing that makes it Shift-y is that
it leads to an acknowledgment that I successfully created what I
wanted by focusing on the successful outcome and drawing the
resolution to myself while simultaneously taking *action* to achieve
what I wanted.

These are mundane examples, but most of our lives exist in the
"mundane" world of appointments and missing toy light sabers hiding in
obscure boxes. Besides, if we can't tackle the mundane stuff, how can
we expect to leap across dimensional veils? Although that might be
easier, you never know. My point in all this is to try to offer a
working example to anyone else listening. I find that "looking for
missing item" imagery actually helps reinforce my faith in creating my
reality, and it might be a good place for people to practice.

My original question was basically about what I could do, what actions
I could take to build up my trust in myself to the level that
Petunia's society maintains. I want to put these concepts into
practice, instead of letting them be academic, textbook concepts that
I don't actually apply. Your response from Petunia sounds a bit like
more of the same "just trust yourself, the Shift is now, you have the
potential within you, magic is all around you" platitudes that we hear
a lot from the Dead Guys. That may be true, but what I'm looking for
is not conceptual reinforcement and verbal encouragement. I'm
interested in actions that one could take to build up that trust in
oneself. I know that every individual is different, and that the
specific, concrete actions that I take are ultimately my choice.
Still, there must be suggestions she can offer that can inspire us in
this moment to find our own paths, as she recommends we do. Earlier in
this message, I offered examples, from my own life, of ways to
acknowledge a widening of awareness. The entity Kris has been spending
a great deal of time lately discussion "action" and how it is
necessary to create one's reality; without it, we are simply sitting
idle and wishing.

I think most of us want to stop wishing and actually take action to
truly Shift, in their own lives. Sometimes I think I'm further along
than I might have otherwise thought. Other times, I doubt that the
Shift is happening at all. Overall, I don't really know for sure. I do
know, however, that trusting ourselves is a healthy attitude, and the
more I can adopt the philosophy, the more I'll be able to make my
reality truly my own.

Petunia says that your impression is correct, "you are already further along than you might have otherwise thought."  And she adds, "There are plenty alongside her in the community garden; Pansy, Daisy, Lily, Rose, Peony, Tulip, Thistle, and more, who would bloomin' love to connect with a past version of themselves, for they eagerly want to share their version of growth, expansion, and blossom."

BAHAHAHAHA!  Petunia is quite a perennial flower child, no doubt!

Creating History

Hi Sharon :)

I'm Michele/ Evealyn, and I've been enjoying and appreciating your artistic flavorings and
amazing creativity for the past few years. Dunno why I never told you, or introduced
myself before now, but oh well, s'matters not. :)

Honey, I just HAD to honor this overwhelming impulse to write you and THANK YOU for
sharing everything you and Petunia talk about. I adore her and you, and I just had to tell
you objectively. :)

When you and Myranda and others talk about future focuses, it literally empowers me to
allow more communication with MY future focuses, and helps me not discount it all - I
used to just chalk up my little conversations as 'wishful thinking' or 'it's just me talking to
myself' - and now I fully realize IT"S ALL REAL and IT"S ALL VALID. I can't describe the joy
that has brought me, knowing and appreciating all of Me, all of Mes. :)

I have a future focus named Francesca who I am allowing myself to hear more and more
clearly. Thanks for your and Petunia's encouragement in this allowance. Please keep
posting your talks, as each piece you post helps all of us build this trusting of ourselves, I
feel.

I really connected with what you posted about the shifty kids. My son chose high-
functioning autism when he was born in 1998, and it is really cool to see this is exactly
what is going on - they are providing us the opportunity to allow more acceptance of
difference, and shift the way we 'teach' and 'learn' and interact.

And I was watching Oprah the other day while making dinner, and Dr. Mehmet Oz was
talking about how the emergency and medical fields are breaking down in the Katrina-New
Orleans area, and that how it is the private, volunteer, grass roots organizations of
'everyday people who care' who are providing the 'new energy' and new ways to organize
these areas - the main government organizations just aren't working anymore, and more
and more people are seeing that. :) So this is all happening,and we are all in the middle of
creating that shift, and that is so fuckin amazing to me. hahaha! :)

Thanks again, Share. Oh, one more thing - I am an artist who creates a lot of doubt and
frustration and discouragement too with my creating, so the part where Petunia thought
this was really wacky was just so sweet to me. hahaha! And you really, really shined a
light on this aspect for me: that these communications are two-way streets - I am lending
just as much to Francesca, as she is lending to me - and that is such an amazingly
beautiful thing to me!! :)))))

Much love and appreciation to you, hon... xooxoxo
Michele



Michele;

Thank you so much for your love and appreciation and I return it back to you. Yes, Petunia has made a major impact in my life, but in reverse she is so thrilled to interact with me, because from her viewpoint she is participating in the creation of her own history.

The Unspoken Thing

Sharon,

I saw something in your blog about Petunia describing history, as it
stands from her point of view. It sounds almost as though new
generations replace old generations, and through this process, a new
culture is born. I suppose that is how cultures experience change over
time, but it does bum me out a bit. My understanding of the Shift thus
far is that all individuals, all around the world, are widening their
awareness, and that all individuals, provided they live long enough,
will begin to discover their inner senses and learn to manipulate
reality in the way that your friend describes. Her description,
however, seems to imply that earlier generations, like yours and mine,
will simply go obsolete, to be replaced by new generations of
individuals with wider awarenesses. I, for one, don't want to stand
around while future generations have all the fun :)

I have some more questions for you to throw at her, if you don't mind.
Could you ask her whether any noteworthy Shift-related events took
place, in *her* version of her past, in 2008 or 2012? I've been
hearing these years bandied about in these kinds of forums, and if her
timeline put some significance on those years, it might mean that a
similar energy will be expressed for us as we experience them.

Finally, Petunia says that we can each actualize the Shift right now,
if we choose. I have also been hearing that for a very long time, from
Elias and others. The problem is that I haven't a clue how to truly
actualize that. They say it's a matter of self-trust, of neutralizing
beliefs. I'd have an easier time trusting myself if I had a direction.
Trust in oneself is only part of the puzzle. The other part is action.
I can sit in my car and trust myself that I'm capable of driving to
San Francisco, but I won't move an inch until I actually start the
car, and I can't start the car if I don't know where to look for the
keys. I may trust my driving abilities, but they don't do me much good
until the car is started. I hope that metaphor makes some sense. My
point in this is that it would be useful if Petunia could offer some
ideas on what we can *do* to actualize the Shift in this moment.

Eagerly awaiting a response from the future,
Steve/Soloron

Steve;
I understand your distress, but Petunia would like to reinforce the fact that anything that she creates in her reality you may create in the here and now, including using the Replicator. In her future time all people are aware that they create their own reality in totality and it is a matter of daily experience. In our time, some people are aware of the theory, but for the most part it remains a theory and not a constant daily personal experience. 

Now, generally people believe that reality creates them and therefore they look outside of themselves for something to happen to them. Even looking for shifty events in particular years is indicative of this viewpoint. There is no one particular event where everything instantly shifts, it is a series of events that shape and mold. Even individual widening of awareness is a slow process, otherwise we would be totally overwhelmed by it and it would appear to be some sort of contagious mental disease.

Individuals do not go obsolete, the social structures and actual buildings go obsolete, because they cannot be used in the same manner as they were before. Some of them are blow up, some fall down due to decay, some are washed away by disaster, and some are willingly torn down and replaced. But all these buildings are simply reflections of mental structures, and how fast we are willing to let go of old established beliefs and turn our values from valuing things outside ourself to valuing the individual. And that is each and every individual with no expectation that they must behave in any particular manner. 

Petunia advises that rather than holding expectation of outside events that you might need to protect yourself from, shift your attention to you. Your reality creation is where your attention is. Notice each time that you use the Replicator and that you are already using it to a large extent without realizing it.  Yes, as you say, you can sit in your car and trust yourself that you are capable of driving to San Francisco, but you won't move an inch until you actually start the car, and you can't start the car if you don't know where to look for the keys. But pay attention to where you do find the keys. Perhaps they are already in the ignition, and perhaps the car is already idling just waiting for you to step on the gas.  Magic happens.

The more you notice the Replicator, the more you trust the Replicator, which in effect is you simply trusting you.

A response from the past -

At Petunia's last theme party, 'the hippy days,' there was a conversation about the recognition of the Replicator in the 1960's. 

This is from Tom Wolfe's kaleidoscopic non-fiction novel, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, that chronicles the tale of novelist Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters. In the 1960s, Kesey led a group of psychedelic sympathizers around the country in a painted bus, presiding over LSD-induced "acid tests" all along the way. Long considered one of the greatest books about the history of the hippies, Wolfe's ability to research like a reporter and simultaneously evoke the hallucinogenic indulgence of the era ensures that this book, written in 1967, will live long in the counter-culture canon of American literature.

"Chapter - The Unspoken Thing"—quote: "... Cassady pulls the bus off the main road and starts driving up a little mountain road—see where she goes ... they keep climbing and twisting up into nowhere ... It turns out they’re out of gas, which is a nice situation because its nightfall and they’re stranded totally hell west of nowhere with not a gas station within thirty, maybe fifty miles. Nothing to do but stroke themselves out on the bus and go to sleep ... DAWN All wake up to a considerable fetching and hauling and grinding up the grade below them and over the crest comes a CHEVRON gasoline tanker, a huge monster of a tanker. Which just stops like they all met somewhere before and gives them a tankful of gas and without a word heads on into the Sierras toward absolutely NOTHING."

Thank You

There is nothing in Petunia’s reality that we could not create right now in this time frame, for it is all a simple matter of belief. But Petunia holds to her opinion that the way her present [our future], was created was by the process of the sequence of generations adjusting mass belief according to their special needs and desires. In other words, it took three/four generations for the collective to change its mind.

The shifty kids began in the late 1990’s expressing themselves differently. If they were Borledim influenced they were born as autistic, indigo, crystal, or whatever other label attached to it. Actually it is all the same thing, as they were intentionally born with full awareness of both inner and outer senses, and they each made an individual choice as to how they wished to apply their talent. It was immediately noticeable in the early part of the new century that the educational system of schoolroom style rote learning was no longer functional.

If they were Vold influenced they simply shot the place up and that quite effectively demonstrated that the educational system would have to be reinvented.

Slowly society began to recognize that all other social systems would also have to be redesigned to accommodate the shifty kids, as they too would be obsolete in a short period of time. It was frightening to the masses to recognize that at some point the inmates would be running the asylum, but that was exactly what was happening. It wasn’t so much the birth of a new generation, but the birth of a brand new culture.

And it certainly wasn’t easy for the masses to let go of old ideas of authority and hierarchical social structures because they were deeply ingrained. Differences of all sorts were brought to the forefront to be examined, and a new method of acceptance of difference had to be designed or else society in general would be totally intolerable.

From Petunia’s point of view there is great respect and admiration to all whom chose to participate in the ‘shift in consciousness,’ and she thanks you individually for your collaboration in creating your future and her present. It is, as she expresses, “most delightful.”

Petunia Entertainment

I think one of the most interesting subjects that Petunia has covered is their manner of entertainment. There is little difference to them between dreaming and waking reality. In waking reality they use their outer senses and in dreaming reality they use their inner senses.

In waking reality they can interchange their outer senses so that they are not limited, as an example they can see sound or hear color. They are also very aware of the sense of smell and use it to recall memory, but also as an intuitive factor, like they can literally smell danger.

Dreaming reality is as valid as waking reality and they use lucid dreams to create their own versions of movies to watch, but also where they participate in the construction and the action of the movie.

They delight in mixing dreaming and waking realities for different effects. Petunia loves to host theme parties, and she usually draws from historical time frames, but she can also connect to her future focuses and draw from that. Recently she designed a party around the hippy era. She replicated costumes, food, drink, and drugs for all her guests, and they spent a charming evening around the fire recreating the tastes of the 1960’s. After they had spent themselves dancing and delighting, they all retired to their private sleeping quarters with the agreement to meet in dreamland. Collectively they created a dreamscape that included a hippy bus painted in brightly colored flowers, and took a tour around the United States that in dream time seemed to last for years, but in waking reality was only a matter of hours. The next morning they gathered around the fire for conversation about their different translations of the dream adventure, similar to how we would look at photographs after an extended trip to recall memories. Great fun was had by all.

Structure

It is interesting to me that your subject today is about structure, because I was talking with Petunia last night about structure in her community. She said that to say they have self-governing communities is somewhat misleading, in that they don’t have government in the form that we know it. There is no authority, whether it be chief or council. There is no one or group that dictates policy or morals, so everyone directs themselves. In the times of disaster or extreme problems the body of the community responds similar to the way the physical body responds to an injury. All attention is focused on the injury, and the community naturally rushes to respond, the same way blood rushes to the site of a physical injury creating swelling in that area. Then there is a temporary structure set up, based on the nature of the problem, like the manner that New York City responded to the WTC event. This structure is based on collective cooperation and each individual offers their support according to their own knowledge and abilities in a concentrated effort. But once the problem is resolved the structure is dismantled. There is no planning for anticipation of future disasters because each is different and handled entirely in the moment according to need.

Her particular community has a theme to live in harmony with their environment, so their physical housing structures are composed of living and growing matter, such as trees, bushes and vines. They are more like intentional shelters. Some are small for the individual, some are larger for families, and there are many common areas like barns. Overall her village resembles a large garden composed of plants and flowers of all varieties.

The weather is rainy, but they can control it in the manner that it does not rain on their shelters directly, but rather around them, therefore the shelters remain dry and comfortable. There isn’t furniture as we know it, but rather contour of the land to simulate sitting and sleeping spaces. Sort of like a nest. They can levitate themselves, but only a few inches. This provides for a constant air cushion, which is very comfortable for sleeping purposes. Petunia has lined her sleeping contour in moss, and it is extraordinarily pleasing.
