So ascending's got you tired and blue. Stretched, pulled, twisted and.....
...turned every which way but loose. And you're about ready to scream??? 
- Yet I hope you're still enjoying this, ''The Inprovisational Melodrama/Chickflick/Bromance/ComedicDocumentary/FarcifulTragedy/InfotaineReligiosity/SportsMercialTainment/PGSexPGSexPGSexSexSexSex/EduInspirational Show'' -- the one that we like to call [font size=3]"REALITY." [/font]
Yeah. All that.
So anyway, to get yourself out of this ennui you should check out these vids. If you've heard of Tippi or about Slab City before, then you won't mind watching them again.
And if you haven't, prepare to be amazed.......

...and here's an extra. Fiction imitating life.....
''Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave.....
...I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I've watched c-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those ... moments will be lost in time, like tears...in rain.....
...Time to die.''

is so amazing. I used to hang out barefoot in the woods as a kid, climbing trees so I can relate 
The other vids are 'not available' when I try them--wondering if youtube has made some changes I'm not aware of, or it's my puter.
Thanks DeSwiss!!
...it might have been a glitch with your cookies or something. But you can always right-click on the video and watch it on Youtube.
Anyway, I choose these three vids -- which are oddly different -- because I found that a thread of TRUTH ran through them all. I'd hoped others could find the thread as well and pick it up to see where it takes them.
The story about the little girl (now young woman) Tippi has always intrigued me. She seems to embody an etheric spirit-body symbiosis not so easily found in we of the more solid and ''dualistically-inclined.'' Tippi seems to be at a place where we hope to be one day. She is living the truth we seek. And she's just amazing to watch interacting with these animals who seem to be putty in her hands.
The Slab City video depicts a different kind of ''wild'' life. It's a video of a people who (much like their counterparts from the African savannah) have been driven to the edges of their society. And they've landed in a place where they found their humanity and their love for life -- and for free will. They, again like the animals of Africa, measure their riches by the amount of freedom they have. Freedom to express themselves and make their own definitions about who they are. No matter how desperate their lives might seem to many of us, I know that it isn't my place to judge them, nor anyone else's. We all have the right to make and follow our own paths. The video reminded me of this basic truth, and for that I'm grateful.
The last one, is from the famous last scene with Roy Batty and Rick Deckard, in the movie Blade Runner. Roy, an artificial human, having interrogated and later killed his maker has found out that his termination date (shortened life-span) was the best that the Tyrell Corporation could create. And so this fact has made him despondent over the loss of his life -- and those "moments lost like tears in rain.''
This is us. We are Roy Batty now. In ascending toward a higher vibration, we too must realize that it is almost our ''time to die'' -- in order that we may be born anew. Knowing this, the strain of the loss of all those moments is causing nostalgia-like emotions over the things we've seen and heard and done. Over the experiences we've shared with each other over time. Over all the lives we have lived. I'll miss it all.
- Yet, I am happy, maybe a little too expectant, for the New World that awaits creation......
about your inspiration for posting these vids. It does feel as if many of us are in various stages of this transformation. Your choice of a child who is in a state of oneness, people who have broken off from the over culture, and those who are grieving what is falling apart--really speaks about these times.
I am not sure what stage I am in, but identify with this magic child, and being on the edge, and grieving the loss of what was. Being in touch with what is happening, being present for the whole process, expressing and learning from it, helps us all.
You have a nice way of expressing things
