I recently watched the video of a veterinarian pulling a bot fly larvae from an 8 week old kitten's nostril. Made me think what would have happened to the kitten if it had not been removed? Also made me think of human children that this would also have happened to. And how it may have been misdiagnosed as something else. Good, better, best. May you never rest, until your good is better, and your better best. | ||

I know that face discrimination violates the spiritual teachings of life. What does Billy think of it? | ||

Has anybody in this forum and in the FIGU community ever grieved the death of a pet? If so, how long did the process lasted? Is it okay to grieve over the loss of a pet? | ||

Marbar, I think its up to each person how they understand and comes to terms with any loss....from my understanding its quite normal to grieve over the death of a pet or any creature we have become attached to.... | ||

Marie, grieving is natural, however, as Scott as said, it depends on the individual. There are articles by BEAM regarding the grieving process MsMichelle (sending peace and love to all) | ||

Thanks Scott and MsMichelle, I should of never asked the question:"Is it okay to grieve over the loss of a pet?" My cat died this past Wednesday, I had her for 13 years. I started grieving the next day; I would cry in the morning and in the afternoon. Her death really hit me hard. | ||

Marbar, don't apologize for asking questions. Ask any and all questions you have. Yes, it is okay to grieve for your cat. Salome, Belinda | ||

I myself was not able to pass the barrier of not grieving. And to this day I have not forgotten nor will I! As MsMichelle said it is an individual thing. So everyone is not the same. All I can do is try each day to work around it but I will never ever forget the unconditional love that was given. We can be cold and distant or we can empathize with one another in order to share the light that was once so graciously in our presence! bronzedesk Mat And the end of all our exploring, will be to arrive where we started, and know the place for the first time. ~ T.

Bronzedesk, I have had other cats before, they was shared. But this one I had, I got her when she was a kitten. The reason it hurts so bad because she was my first cat that I chose to have. She was my cat alone and I somehow felt that she was meant for me to have. | ||

I have grieved over the loss of my pets--dogs and cats, even my ponies and horses, and still dream about them from time to time. Pets can have a closer bond with us than most people, because they are non-judgemental and non-punishing kinds of spirits, who give of themselves to please us and make us happy. When I got older I realized that I needed a creature with me in order to keep me sane, so I got a beautiful (rescued) dark angora kind of cat. Best decision I ever made in my life. She was with me for 9 years and saw me through a lot of personal trouble, including the death of my mother. I will always have at least one cat with me as long as I am able to live independently. These creatures are indispensable for our well being, particularly people like me who are living alone and in relative isolation from others. | ||

(My translation may contain errors) The Wellsprings Of Love, Knowledge And Wisdom Bring Blessings From the wellsprings of love, knowledge and wisdom all the values of life gush forth for the human being, which give him the roots for security in existence and for all his positive mental and feeling-based impulses (Figu Dict.: impulsations) as well as for his good deeds, actions and behaviour. This enables him to be generous, compassionate and loving, peaceful, free and harmonious, rooted in this inner prosperity like a fruitful tree in fertile soil. The wellspring of love, knowledge and wisdom bring blessings to the human being, and in true humanity and charity he shares this infinite abundance with his fellow human beings. However, by sharing everything with them, his love, peace, freedom, compassion, harmony, knowledge and wisdom, he is always filled anew with all these values. As a result, he never suffers any lack, never has to suffer any shortcomings, but is constantly permeated and strengthened by new energy and power. And when a human being trusts in his sources and the energies and powers of love, knowledge, wisdom and security flowing from them, he always affirms himself in the fact that he always has enough for himself and that there is enough of all these high values for everyone - more than enough. And when he consciously absorbs, uses and expands the constantly expanding sources and the growing energy and power of love, knowledge, wisdom and security, as well as peace, freedom and harmony, then there are always many opportunities and possibilities for all these values and their embodiment in his inner being and for their external spread, so that he can use everything for ever more generosity. Everything is then formed again for a new occasion to constantly widen [expand] love, knowledge and wisdom, because it is trusted that the wellspring of love, knowledge and wisdom within him will lead the trickle that springs from it to a mighty universal stream that flows into a gigantic universal lake of all abundance, [and] all good and positive things, there it gathers and from there [it] has a universe-wide effect. And the wonderful thing about it is that it all [all of it] is only moved by the human being himself, if he promotes himself specifically in all positive values and gives these values to his entire environment, to his fellow human beings, to nature and its fauna and flora and to the universe itself. If he does the same, then he does not only create love, knowledge, wisdom, security, peace, freedom and harmony within himself, but he carries everything out to his fellow human beings, to all living beings and all existence in the world and even out into the infinite vastness of the universe. SSSC, September 17, 2013, 23.24 h, Billy German Origin Die Quellen der Liebe, des Wissens und der Weisheit bringen Segen Aus den Quellen der Liebe, des Wissens und der Weisheit sprudeln für den Menschen alle Werte des Lebens, die ihm die Wurzeln für ¬Sicherheit im Dasein und für all seine positiven gedanklich-gefühlsmässigen Regungen wachsen lassen, wie auch für seine guten Handlungen, Taten und Verhaltensweisen. Dadurch ist er in der Lage, grosszügig, mitfühlsam und liebevoll, friedlich, frei und harmonisch zu sein, wobei er mit diesem inneren Wohlstand verwurzelt ist, wie ein ¬ertragreicher Baum in fruchtbarem Erdreich. Die Quellen der Liebe, des Wissens und der Weisheit bringen dem Menschen Segen, und in wahrer Menschlichkeit und Nächstenliebe teilt er diese unendliche Fülle mit den Mitmenschen. Indem er jedoch alles mit ihnen teilt, seine Liebe, seinen Frieden, seine Freiheit, sein Mitgefühl, seine Harmonie, sein Wissen und seine Weisheit, wird er immer wieder neuerlich erfüllt mit all diesen Werten. Folglich leidet er niemals Mangel, muss kein Zukurzkommen erleiden, sondern wird stetig von neuer Energie und Kraft durchströmt und gestärkt. Und wenn der Mensch auf seine Quellen und die daraus fliessenden Energien und Kräfte der Liebe, des Wissens, der Weisheit und Sicherheit vertraut, bekräftigt er sich stets selbst darin, dass er immer genug für sich selbst hat und dass es genug von all diesen hohen Werten für alle gibt – und zwar mehr als genug. Und wenn er die stetig sich in sich weitenden Quellen und die daraus wachsende Energie und Kraft der Liebe, des Wissens, der Weisheit und Sicherheit sowie des Friedens, der Freiheit und Harmonie bewusst in sich aufnimmt, nutzt und weitet, dann fallen ihm für all diese Werte und deren Umsetzung in ¬seinem Innern und für die äussere Verbreitung immer viele Gelegenheiten und Möglichkeiten zu, folglich er alles für immer mehr Grosszügigkeit nutzen kann. Das Ganze bildet sich dann wieder zu einem neuen Anlass, die Liebe, das Wissen und die Weisheit stetig mehr zu erweitern, weil darauf vertraut wird, dass die Quelle der Liebe, des Wissens und der Weisheit in ihm das daraus entspringende Rinnsal zu einem gewaltigen universellen Strom hinführt, der in einen gigantischen universellen See aller Fülle, alles Guten und Positiven fliesst, sich dort sammelt und von dort aus universumweit wirkt. Und das Wunderbare dabei ist, dass das Ganze einzig durch den Menschen selbst bewegt wird, wenn er sich eigens in allen positiven Werten fördert und diese Werte seiner gesamten Umwelt, den Mitmenschen, der Natur und deren Fauna und Flora sowie dem Universum selbst zukommen lässt. Tut er dem gleich, dann schafft er in sich nicht nur Liebe, Wissen, Weisheit, Sicherheit, Frieden, Freiheit und Harmonie, sondern er trägt alles hinaus zu den Mitmenschen, zu allen Lebewesen und allem Existenten in der Welt und gar hinaus in die unendlichen Weiten des Universums.

This word found me - Filigreed! Definition according to Merriam-Webster: decorated with ornamental openwork of delicate or intricate design : adorned with filigree. Valdemar Reis put it up on Feb. 15, with the headline - "The spirit form is something like a filigreed "tissue" that is anchored in the brain. It is iota-like spiritual-creational energy. Earth humans are hardly able to detect it within themselves." It's in the discussion board from Nov. 3, 2003. Beams of Light throughout, like the nervous system with energy. I love you Billy! I love you Valdemar! I love all of FIGU and I love all the Plejarans! My Spirit makes more sense. It's part of every cell in me. I know I understand. What a life-changing experience this has been!! | ||

<transferred> Felinity: “… in CR 001, Semjase said to Billy that he was a fearless man. In the symbols book, Furchtlosigkeit has two rows of rectangles totaling six, with a long rectangle in-between , making seven total.” This is a good one to discuss, Belinda. At first sight of this symbol, one is immediately impressed by a strong composition of seven rectangles. The vales of “strength” and “composure” are instantly associated with “fearless”. One quickly notices too, that the rectangles are balanced: three vertical rectangles above the horizontal with three below and symmetrically aligned. So “balanced” is added to strength & composure to the association of fearless. We are aware of the values of 3, 7 & 12 in the spiritual teachings so we intuit that the two groupings of three equally above and below the “grounding-like” seventh rectangle has greater meaning and it seems to partially invoke (for me anyway) the balance of positive and negative. Billy explained that the seven 'feathers' in the upper part of the FRIEDEN symbol represent the seven forms of consciousness. He has also explained that some of the values seen in one symbol can be seen in another as a cross-linkage. If I make an assumption that the rectangles represent the seven forms of consciousness; then possibly, one group of three rectangles represents the three forms of spiritual consciousness and the other group of three represents the material consciousness with the horizontal one representing the consciousness form that connects the two groupings. So my understanding of FEARLESS begins to expand to a much greater context of SPIRITUAL BALANCE. In the PEACE symbol, Billy says the horizontal rectangle represents,“the grounding/fundamental block of peace which holds together and bears the tree of peace and life,”. So, for me personally, I also begin to see a connection between PEACE and FEARLESS. These are just my thoughts. Regards Bob   | ||

To me that seems very rational. I suppose it could be said, as well, that the inner forces within a human being (their own psychical integrity, physical health, fitness, etc.) also need to balance with the outlying dangers, and then there can exist a freedom from fear as the inner might becomes equal with the external threats/dangers. Which probably helps to create an equalising effect in the psyche, in that the human does not retreat into themselves, but can confront problems head on with tenacity in equal measure which matches the might of the problem. | ||

In contrast to the symbol "Furchtlosigkeit" (fearlessness) is the symbol "Furcht" or fear. Where the rectangles in furchtlosigkeit are clear and denotes clarity of consciousness; the symbol for furcht seems full, heavy and burdensome. Like clear glasses filled with clean water are completely polluted. It seems to be showing how even an otherwise strong & balanced consciousness can be completely filled with darkness by the presence of fear.   | ||

Very interesting bob I don't know whether its a coincidence but one of the trigram in the south Korean national flag bears this symbol without the middle rectangle. ☷ gon (곤 / 坤); earth (지 / 地); summer (하 / 夏); west (서 / 西); courtesy (례 / 禮); mother (모 / 母); vitality (생명력 / 生命力) Matt lee | ||
Phi_spiral Member Post Number: 20 Registered: 04-2020 |
In the Furchlosigkeit symbol, the proportion of the height of the rectangles to their spacing is the Phi ratio: which is - 1 to 1.618 aka the Golden Ratio; thus forming the Golden Rectangle. This proportion has been considered since antiquity as aesthetically pleasing and was used by the ancient Greeks to proportion their temple designs; and was rediscovered and used prolifically in Renaissance art. Phi occurs naturally in creation and found in the proportions of the human body, plants and DNA. Matthew Cross does an informative yet succinct TED Talk called Golden Ratio Fibonacci Sequence, that's only three and half minutes long which you can watch on YouTube.   | ||

>>> Fluidal Forces Do Not Vanish <<< Hi Bob, Many of the "discoveries" of Greek people were of a non Greek origin. As Billy mentioned it was only when the Minoans (which were related to the people of Little Atlantis (Santorini) fled to the Greek mainland that Greek culture began to evolve. And the flowering of knowledge during the heyday of classical Greek is, indeed, the discussion of knowledge which Atlantis people left in Egypt, before departing from our planet. While most of this information stems from Edgar Casey, Ptaah mentioned in more recent times that the Egyptian god Ptah (God of Craftsmen as well God who Gives Oracles) was one of his Ur-ur-ancestors thus confirming some of Edgar Casey's information about the wisdom of Atlanteans while staying in Egypt. IMO - it may well be that the "very free and serene sentiment" that attracts so many visitors - even today - when visiting these ancient places - that it has the same origin that we get when we meditate with the Plejaren for peace in our universe. The enlightened spirit of the Renaissance - that revived "what happened in classical Greece/Rome" - its true origin is - the spirit of living in Atlantis.

Thank you all for your responses on Furchtlosigkeit. When I first saw the symbol, I thought of a baby crawling on 7 blocks. The first one would be him/her going over one, then falling on their behind, crying, getting back up, crawling to the 2nd one until the 7th where he/she can do it effortlessly, either still as a baby or an adult, I couldn't make up my mind. But yeah, I really like the first 3 introductory contacts with Semjase. Salome, Belinda | ||

For me, the angular rods depicted in Lebensfreude (Joy of Living) from the Symbole der Geisteslehre evokes an association to the Was, also called was scepter or was staff in ancient Egypt. There is no consensus among Egyptologists as to exactly what the Was scepter was used for but one theory is that it was an energy tool thought to produce a harmonic resonance. A tuning fork typically located on the end of the staff reinforced that idea. And if so, perhaps this was knowledge brought from Atlantis. HERU giving LIFE through the WAS ------------->     The three leaf plant has been used in various forms and iterations throughout Earth history and its' cultures as a popular archetype. Two examples are the Trefoil (from Latin trifolium, "three-leaved plant")and the Fleur-de-lis which came to symbolize life, perfection, and light. This motif as used in the ancient art of India, Egypt and China, symbolizes a divine portal (Nirvana), an esoteric metaphor for the Tree of Life and of immortality. Billy uses a more streamlined and simple shape for the Tree of Life in the peace symbol.     1 The Fleur de lis symbol also appears linked to divinity & immortality in Ancient Egyptian art 2 Carving in India of the Buddha meditating in a portal, under a Fleur-de-lis symbol. Nalanda Site Museum, Bihar, India 3 An Assyrian king (722 BC-705 BC) stands next to a depiction of the Tree of Life. He wears a helmet crowned with a trefoil motif which also appears at the base of the tree itself. 4 A bearded, long haired Quetzalcoatl is depicted on a carved Maya vessel known as K5420 with two Fleur-de-lis - one coming from his forehead and a second coming from the crown of his head |
