Vincent (Starry Starry Night)


“Don McLean wrote Vincent in 1971 after reading a book about the life of artist Vincent Van Gogh. In the 1970s, the Van Gogh museum in Amsterdam played the song daily and a copy of the sheet music, together with a set of Van Gogh’s paint brushes, is buried in a time capsule beneath the museum.”

This song, the words, Vincent Van Gogh, along with his paintings describe to me a Star Child born in a time that may not have understood.
Peppermint Oil/Leaves
09/23/2009

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peppermint
another use of peppermint oil, I have just recently read, is a natural way to keep mice outside of a garage or a home. Its supposed to smell like a female cat to them, so they stay away. The peppermint oil should be one that is pure, an essential oil or can be the peppermint leaves crushed maybe. I have no peppermint leafs so I am going to place the oil in little glass containers like mason jars, not paper containers, because of the oil’s strength, in the garage this fall, if nothing else, the garage will smell very minty.:) I think to know if I use too much or if it works, if all of a sudden there are all kinds of male cats about.
I am going to tell the neighbors on each side on me of this too, so they might tell their neighbors, and these neighbors will tell their neighbors, until maybe the mice will come to a neighbor with an open field:)
A little word of caution if this is tried, to be careful of the oil getting into your eyes.

One divided into Many

but always connected

is what I see when I view this image of the Sephirot. (from Sueann’s suggestion in the post Connections:))
and when I looked up the meaning of the circles in this image I saw them referred to as spheres, and see as well a connection between our DNA and spheres.
In the image below I am trying to join the chakra numbers to this image of the Sephirot. It felt right to draw the chaka numbers north to south and south to north, and I thought to see the Star of David in the number of five, because I have always drawn stars in that one motion, pen not leaving the paper kind of way, but when I drew two triangles on top of each other, I realized there were 6 points in this star not five. Two of these 5 pointed stars would make a 10 though:) or a 1.
and If I were to guess on the vehicle of the gods, I would guess that it is one of light.

I like this meaning from wiki of a five pointed star.
A five-pointed star (☆) is a very common ideogram throughout the world. If drawn with lines of equal length and angles of 36° at each point, it is sometimes termed a golden five pointed star.[1] If the colinear edges are joined together a pentagram is produced, which is the simplest of the unicursal star polygons, and a symbol of mystical and magical significance.

I am attracted back to this, when I see it laying on the table next to the computer

I see the Star of David now,a star of 6 triangles. I first saw 2 when I connected the chakas/spheres in the image on the right. Then when I connected them all, the little image to the bottom left, I saw 4 more triangles, making the six. And when I went back to 10 sphere image, I saw the 6 pointed star by connecting 7 to 7, 1 to 1, and 4 to 4. even these numbers, 7,7,1,1,4,4 add up to 24, which is 2 plus 4, 6:)
I also see in the five point star, that when I connect the inside of it, five more points are there. Like a 10, so that connects the Sephirot 10 spheres to me, and if I were to do the same for the 6 triangle star then 12 points would connect the 12 astrological signs to me, but I also see in these numbers a one and a 3, or 4 which is the number of spheres in the middle path.
and I see too I spell triangles as triangels: sometimes:) but to correct it I would have to re-scan so leave it as is.
…………..
I have looked up the meanings of the 1 4 and 7 chakas from this site,
http://www.meaningoflife.i12.com/chakras.htm
1 – Self Preservation
4 – Self Acceptance
7 – Self Knowledge
and I like that 7 4 and 1 equal 12, or 3, like a triangle in itself :)
and now I think if I continue this I might start going around in circles :) mostly because what really feels right to me when I draw it is a star with eight points the four x 2.
Connections
08/19/2009
From a post of Reincarnation and Astrology (the blue lettering is a link to the post I hope:) and what I refer to is in the 14th comment of this post)
I try to connect, to understand/learn more of the meaning of the Holy Cross/Astrology/Re-incarnation. I wrote a post about my perception of re-incarnation yesterday or the day before, but found myself not deleting it but putting it into the draft part of wordpress, to continue it there because I thought these things are very conscious to me, with me I guess, I just have to write them out but what I realized is, that all these things led me to here, to this topic, wishing to understand it more for now:) and so I found myself drawing last night what Sueann was explaining, instead of continuing on the other post.

I needed to see a connection, a common ground maybe between all the signs, and when I connected the three crosses I saw an image likened to DNA, so wonder is our DNA or the evolution of our DNA the bridges to moving between these crosses?.
Suspension
08/13/2009

I have been noticing spider webs this summer, and find myself sitting and watching some days as they spin their webs. At times I would try to take a picture of them and when I looked at them after they seemed a blur, I thought, alright, you do not wish to be captured in stillness as yet:)
The morning I took this one, I knew it would come out, the light on the web just seemed perfect, it was ready to be seen.
I found myself wondering to this spider and their web, what are you trying to tell me, by allowing yourself to be shown and when I looked again at this web I saw them as being suspended, the web in its float, the spider in its wait for any insects that might come.
I realized after that what I saw is what I have been feeling inside, a suspension of a sort, a feeling of things to come, and when I went back outside to thank this spider and its web, I saw patience, and I saw too some of the web links broken. I felt a little sad at this, but knew that the spider knew it was time to spin a new web.
This morning when I went out, I saw that it left little silver threads behind, a little trail to his next journey.

Sueann, in an email made mention of the Pleiades, when I looked them up I instantly felt a love towards them, and when I look at this image of raindrops now, I think of these as them.

Feathers
08/08/2009

This spring/summer an awareness of feathers has come to me. It started in the spring when I was cleaning a closet and found a dream-catcher someone had given me from a trip they had taken, I had put it in a box when renovating and forgotten about it. It was a circle of webs with five or six feathers attached to the bottom. When I came upon it again, I wondered, what dreams have you caught in this box, hidden away for some time. I thought maybe it was the dreams of my sons who had spent the most time in the room where the closet was, and felt to hang it outside so the dreams could fly.
About a month after when I was sitting outside, I was noticing this dream-catcher and saw that one or two of the feathers had disappeared, had come loose and flown away, and three were left, but I also felt that the remaining feathers looked too bound, in the glueness and little piece of steel that attached them to the circle and I felt a need to loosen them and let them go as well. When I did this, in my head, I wished the feathers to make the dreams of the birds come true.
I came across other feathers after this, on the ground outside, and when I did I felt sorrow, for I felt they were of a bird that might have been eating cherries and which one of the cats had caught, and again I saw some another time. I noticed too that the feathers I had let go did not fly but were sitting in a bush, so I took them and placed them along with the ones on the ground.
I have not seen any in a little while now, but I notice myself noticing birds that fly in front of the windshield when driving, that take my breath away for a second and I notice them soaring in the sky and when I saw these two feathers this morning, I noticed I did not feel as much sorrow as I felt before. I felt that they were simply dropped there for me to see.

Judgement
08/08/2009
Whenever I injure life of any sort, I must be quite clear whether it is necessary. Beyond the unavoidable, I must never go, not even with what seems insignificant. The farmer, who has mown down a thousand flowers in his meadow as fodder for his cows, must be careful on his way home not to strike off in wanton pastime the head of a single flower by the roadside, for he thereby commits a wrong against life without being under the pressure of necessity.
–Albert Schweitzer
I find in these words what I judge myself on now. I find I do alright with the flies that come into the house, I capture them gently in kleenex and release them outside, or the little ants that I see, I leave alone and they always seem to leave this way eventually. It is with the mowing of the grass though that I have diffictulty with. I see insects distrubed when I do, and wonder how many did not get away.
Lunar Eclipse, Full Moon
08/06/2009

Last night during the lunar eclipse/full moon I felt a want to try mediating during this. I did not know what to expect, and questioned during the day do we wish on such a time, and what should the wish be, is it a time for ourselves or for all others. I decided that I would not make a wish, that I would see by mediating what energy I felt instead. I looked up how to meditate and the most basic way I came across was to focus on breathing, so at 8:55 pm I went outside and sat in a chair to begin this. I tried for about 15 minutes but was unable to, it was chilly out, my feet were bare, and my head was hurting, I felt uncomfortable and I thought I should be warm and comfortable during this.
I went inside thinking to lay down and mediate this way, turning off the lights to try and focus on my breathing, but when I did I was followed by others, wondering what I was doing, if I was okay and such, wanting to talk, so I let it be and went back outside later to see if I might get a picture of this full moon. I was expecting it to be orange when I looked at it, and I was a little disappointed when I saw it still white, and when I took pictures and looked at them after, I saw rooftops in the way.
By eleven I was ready for bed but my sleep was restless, I kept waking up and at one point went back outside, around 3 am to see the moon again. It had shifted and was to the back more, away from the rooftops with clouds moving slowly across it. I thought it more beautiful and serene than I had earlier and took a few more pictures of it and went back to bed.
This morning I woke up feeling good, my headache gone, and also with two memories of things I have not thought of in a while. They are of experiences of ‘knowing’. I had just recently read a post of Sueann’s of ‘knowing’ something that is sometimes hard to explain, and when I was reading it I understood this knowing, but the memories of why I understood it did not come until this morning.
Lately I have been questioning energy, empathy, if it is all our own, or if we can we really feel the energy of others and how it is transferred. The two experienes I remembered this morning showed to me that yes, there are energies that are yet to be explained, but that they really do not need explainations because they come with a knowing that feels so very deep that you don’t question them, just accept them for what they are.
The two experiences I remembered this morning were these.
When we needed money once, I was invited to a bingo game, as soon as I sat down at this bingo game, I ‘knew’ I was going to win, and I ‘knew’ it would be on the 13th card in the 13th game, and it happened, exactly as I knew. When I read about the law of attraction after this I thought this winning was such. That I attracted it, but I did not know anything about the law of attraction at the time, I only had the feeling of knowing.
This other experience of ‘knowing’ came around the time my mother was ill. I was working in dining, and it was a tuesday night, a little slow. Around 9 o’clock three people came in, ones I have never seen before, they were dressed differently, and in their dress I saw them as gypsies. They did not stay long, they said they just wanted water, but I felt energy when I served them, an overwhelming ‘knowing’ came to me that my mother was going to die very soon, and that they were messengers telling me this. She did, two days after.
So this is what I felt during this full moon, lunar eclipse, :) and in writing of it more memories of experiencing knowing come to me.
I feel this comes from within, this energy, knowing, but I also feel it comes from without as well.
Two raccoons
08/05/2009


My niece saw these one morning in the cherry tree. I was surprised to see them so close and in the daylight. They are the babies I think of the racoons we heard on the roof in the spring.
