Dog Poet Transmitting.......
May your noses always be cold and wet.
Greetings Dear Friends; I am surprised and pleased that so many of you liked the video. I got a nudge and wink from the invisible to do this and as usual, they are ahead of the game in all ways. It has been my expectation that I would move into this newer medium. It is probably past time for it. So I shall announce that there will be (give or take) two fifteen minute videos each week. Once I get into the groove it should flow easily. Okay then, on to the post because I'm halted in my work here for awhile because I have to wait on others for certain things which I would be glad to get at myself but I suspect that might meet with some resistance. It's unfortunate that I am separated by such distances from certain friends because we could have this place going in at a much faster clip were we closer. I think I'll just get on the tile work for the moment and see how that goes. On to the post.
Prioritizing thought is an idea that crosses my mind often. Some might think that continuous spontaneity is the key to a successful interplay with the ineffable. So many of us are rebellious in our consciousness because we are surrounded by influences visible and invisible that are seeking to suck us into unfortunate states of mind. We are in the most critical of times and as has oft been stated here; there is a war for souls going on. No matter what filter or lens we may presently see life through, this is a time of cosmic harvest and even a casual exercise (were there such a thing) of Broad Daylight Awareness will show one that this is true and that there is an intentional cabal of hijacked entities; a not so loose amalgam of general Satanists, Tribe Satanists, Atheists, politically correct Nazis, Moral Relativists, Corporatists and a variety of entrepreneurial opportunists who are all buzzing around a massive mountain of toxic wastes like flies in a cow pasture. Here is just one example of things going on in the world around us, note the horns. It's a war of ideologies that is backed by the most powerful and pervasive media machine ever. The level of insanity is breathtaking and the pandering to the lowest level of human expression is being rabble roused out of the pit by an army of cheerleaders, operating out of an entertainment juggernaut with only one purpose in mind; could it possibly be any more transparent? The level of craziness is mindblowing.
Prioritizing thought and even feeling can go a long way to minimalizing the level of conflict that one experiences in the day to day and maximizing the potential for success otherwise. Every little life out of the billions taking place here is some expression of the divine impulse, working itself out through the dynamics of the day to day. In most cases it is not unlike that of moths playing kamikaze games with a candle, or an example of any number of self destructive activities, brought about by an inability to govern base impulse; an impulse whose intensity is jacked up by an onslaught of images and sounds, the like of which has not been seen at any time in the course of recorded history.
Unless a person can get their heads into some semblance of order, disorder is a given. Unless you do one thing, another thing is the inevitable result. You can't simply stand still because the current in the river will carry you even if you think you are standing still.
There are any number of mindsets that have come about with the intent to help us to prioritize our thoughts and feelings; "love others as I have loved you", see god in everyone etc. This isn't always easy because we get convinced that we have to love all these undesirable personality constructs but... we do not. We are only asked to love the spark of the infinite within them. We are encouraged to love the greater potential in each other and by a focus on that to draw it forth from them. This is precisely the reverse of what is happening through the efforts of the other side of the equation. You are confronted with forces seeking to suck you down and those seeking to draw you up. The kicker is that the latter requires an effort on your part. You must strive and you must yearn. All of us have fallen in love at some point, or thought we did, until the shine went away. This is because our mistaken attraction was focused on the temporary side of the attraction and being temporary, well, do the math. This is why, unless you love what is eternal in others, it won't perpetuate so... prioritize the eternal. Loving the eternal in another will invoke it.
Whatever stage of your life you may find yourself in, you must remember that, not only is that stage temporary but that every stage brings certain conditions of being into being. If you are on the right track, if you are perpetuating what is eternal within you, it will grow and in each stage it will bloom into a new expression of itself. The road of depravity does the same in reverse. Earlier in my life I was consumed by any number of great passions. My life was an ongoing response of the poetic side of my nature to the possibilities of the moments expressions. However, as I moved from stage to stage, the nature and meaning of my pusuits changed all by itself because, although my pursuit of the ineffable was often obscured by temporary image, it was always the light I was after in the cloud of unknowing. These days my heart lifts toward the divine far more often than it ever did because of the transiting of the stages of my being.
Some things make you old and some things keep you young. We might be confused about what these things are, given that we are lied to without respite but... the fact that it is true is beyond debate. Others have found it and that is because they prioritized their passions. Look at the faces of some of these people:
Muhammad Raheem Bawa Muhaiyaddeen
It is indisputable what these faces portray:
Paramahansa Yogananda
You can find any number of the faces of men and women who shine forth with an inner light because their love of the inner light proved greater than their love of anything else.
Broad Daylight Awareness will show anyone that what surrounds us is perishable and should that be our focus we will take upon ourselves the appearance of what is perishable. Our wits will depart as our light dims. We are given an amount of light and we can see the expression of it in youth. As our life becomes a litany of compromises as we go, our light is increasingly more veiled. Either the divine shines out from us or the divine departs and recedes because we have no greater interest in it. The divine does not stay where it is not welcome and loved. If you love something else more, you will be handed over to it for the purpose of demonstration. EVERYTHING here is for the purpose of demonstration. Life is an ongoing demonstration of what works and what does not work. What confuses us is that it looks like certain things work because we are observing from a narrow window of time. If we were to step back and further back we would get the panorama aspect and we would see what price worldly success comes at. In this time of flash and instant gratification that force becomes, seemingly, the most powerful feature of the day. This is a time of the exercise of base appetites and any student of scripture knows that these periods of existence have been predicted in the texts of every faith. "Where there is no vision, the people perish"... oh generation of vipers and so on and so on. Whenever an age transits you can expect massive change, as what is enduring is transformed into its new aspect and what is scheduled for recycling gets plowed under.
You can't allow your state of mind to be lowered, or allow depression and dispair to enter in. When it looks so hopeless all around you, you can wind up feeling hopeless too. Without a constant, continuous focus on the inner light you don't stand much chance. Meditation naturally will lead one to states where one can move through these things with a sureness and certitude, even a serenity that one did not previously have.
Yesterday, I found myself getting upset about something. It was a justifiable upset, seen from a certain perspective... and I was going back and forth with it in my mind when the ineffable came in and said, "Watch yourself. This is not the way you want to go. Why do you not come to me about these things? Am I not capable of taking care of anything and everything that comes up? Do I not exist in your life precisely for this purpose? This is what you do not do Visible, not nearly enough. If you bring everything that becomes a matter of concern to my attention, I will take care of it. There is nothing that I cannot handle and handle easily." It went on in a powerful and beautiful way.
This struck me to the core in the manner it was presented to me and I understood where I had been falling short. I was preempting the job description of the ineffable with my own woefully inadequate talents in that direction. It is a trememdous load off of the mind to understand the difference between what you can do and what is not your concern. It really hit me. It hit me in a meaningful way. I realize now that it is that persistent anxiety over results that troubles us. How will it turn out if I don't interfere and take steps? Yet every teacher I have ever had any faith in tells me the same thing. Leave it all in the hands of the ineffable. This applies, even when it doesn't seem to be working out because, IT DOES AND WILL WORK OUT and you are only being tested to see what the level of your resolve might be. Faith, Certitude and Determination!!! Faith, Certitude and Determination!!! Walk the talk and it will speak for you.
End Transmission.......
I will seek to get a video up this evening and I will be gone for several days starting tomorrow so... try to stay out of trouble (grin).

It's amazing how the Otherside communicates with us. I was sitting there at work in front of my mechanical letter opener when all of a sudden I get, 'LIFE IS STUPID! WHAT YOU ARE DOING IS STUPID! LIFE IS A HAMSTER WHEEL.'
For most (Me included, in the present.), it certainly is. Especially those of us working in stupid artificial jobs that produce NOTHING, and are only there because of government regulations or the banking industry.
I say if the job didn't exist 300 years ago, it's pointless garbage. Well, maybe 'cept those jobs that keep the indoor plumbing and electricity going.
Good to see you there Mr Vis. ( For what it may be worth ).
I wish you well there Mr Vis with this new thingy of we being able to see and hear you. Long overdue methinks as it is nice to put a face to your meanderings. You somehow looked much as I had thought you to look, a bit older perhaps, but then ain't we all.
I don't like the idea of red brick though as I would stud and dry wall it. Do leave a part of the old wall open as to what it may have been before you moved in. The more things change the more everything seems to stay the same sort of thing.
I tried to comment on the vid but it seems to be a bit complicated for my old brain. I hope you intend to put some of your meander on Vid in the future as I think that a good idea. It would be nice if you could say it with some links as you go. Something like that mad old Brother Nathaniel.
I wish you well anyway in this new place and my best wishes..........Good to see and hear you.... Mac.
I am not so sure of myself to trust the bleak judgements I nevertheless do hold re the future. I COULD be wrong. I've been before. In this case I am not. It is convenient to play dumb, to act like I never dared think so, but I always knew without second thought that the Good cannot match up to the shite and to trust the encrusted to Do The wrong thing. This just for fun brought you by the good folks who own your note. See how it goes?
since all sides are selling the same ideology, here is an easy way to tell the difference between a truther and a liar:
anything that concludes gentile vs gentile combat is necessary, is jewish literature
Visible, your words speak directly to me, in the circumstances I am passing through. It's uncanny how you say exactly what I need to hear. Thank you!
I really like the idea of a continuing video series Vis.
For some odd and inexplicable reason my daughter thought I needed for father's day a 24 in. smart TV for my hang out place. With the free youtube ap I can play any video they have on it and that's nice so I look forward to seeing more of you on TV.
@ flyingcossack, very true.
Visible - i am looking forward to seeing the weekly videos.
Your writings are a calm place in the storm, so it will be even better to hear and see you speaking.
Visible I need you over my shoulder. Why does all of my higher knowledge go out the window when dealing with difficult people that one can't escape from? Actually I have reigned myself in pretty well but similar to what you said, I want to correct a situation that is dysfunctional which causes me no undue amount of mental and emotional stress. Ah well we've probably all been there and can't do much about it except control how we react.
Thanks for a terrific and timely post for me. I was moved by the pics also.
Wishing you peace in your new digs and looking forward to more vids.
Love, Peaches
Yes mac
A cupboard\cooler set against the old wall. Nobody has brick cubbies.
Visible,
I have been reading your posts for a number of years and have had some inspiration to post a comment. First, I saw your video and your abode is amazing! It is a dreamhouse, in my opinion. Second, your writing here today was so spot on for me that I can hardly believe it. For a very long time I have been letting the "universe" guide things, it is truly astounding when the "process" is left to happen. I suffer most when I get in the way, I guess that is what my lesson is and turn that knowledge into loving action.
All the best and be seeing you!
M
Peaches;
The frustration of not knowing what to do and what to say in certain situations is precisely because there is nothing to do or say in them. Sometimes this is the most appropriate response. It matters not what others say and do. It matters only what you say and do. Ability to not do these things arises from a state of security in one's self. There is no need to defend oneself. When you leave it in the hands of the cosmos, the cosmos will take the response.
..............................
I have no idea what a 'cubbies' is but it is not true that no one has a brick wall because I shall. One does not leave a porous white plaster wall alone when it has no insulation. One certainly doesn't remove the wall. Ergo, one moisture treats and insulates that wall and then puts up whatever fascia fits their tastes. The aged red brick is stylish and cheap, simply slightly labor intensive. Sheetrock would work but the work ratio from one to the other is far greater with s-rock and I'd just have to paint it too. Of course, some people are just contrary in order to be contrary; perfectly fine, I've no response for that (grin).

Love life.
Dude - I loved it when you rambled in your video and lost your self-consciousness. I hope you don't try to format this into some type of scripted TV show. There's too much of that sort of thing on the Internet already, in my humble opinion. People are at their most attractive when they are not being self-conscious. It's the flaws and the overall humanness and spontaneous passion of it all. You mentioned "Commit yourself already to that which will protect, and nurture and look out for you." That really hit home. Carlos Castaneda's alleged mentor (Don Juan Matus), told him the following, over and over and over again, during the course of their alleged interaction - "Be impeccable. I have told you this dozens of times. To be impeccable means to put your life on the line in order to back up your decisions, and then to do quite a lot more than your best to realize those decisions. When you are not deciding anything, you are merely playing roulette with your life in a helter-skelter way." Bingo and touche, fine sir!
3 things in no particular order ...
1) the silent bird thing you talked about flew by me last night. i was in a bar that i infrequently visit, when what i would describe as a bat/ bird/ shadow like thing flew silently over my head - at ceiling height. i thought of what you had said previously immediately. no one else in the room batted an eye or noticed a thing (pun meant:)
Never seen anything like that before :0
2) those tiles are very very nice and will look fantastic and create a real nice central feature.
3) i was again vistor 13 (or i shoud say the counter was showing 13) on viewng the video. lets see if i keep the same alloted slot :)
happy solstice
Insiam; That is truly weird. I wonder what the meaning of that gliding bat/bird-like shape.
...........................
As for being scripted; I'm a big fan of extemporaneous, unscripted off the cuff so that is likely to continue, even if I do segue into a feature here and there, the same would apply.
The comment 'Buttons' made about work resonated with me. I used to work as a manufacturing engineer in the auto business. I observed that maybe 1 out of every thousand engineers came up with patents that were worth something. About 1 out of every 25 engineers comes up with drawings that are useful to the product. The rest of these over educated, overpaid thralls are just corporate errand boys. The last few months of my job, just before I quit, all I did was play solitaire on my computer. Every once in a while I would take a trip to pretend to do something just so I could rack up some meals on my expense account. And my bosses didn't want to see me quit!
I had the same experience when i worked for Bechtel as a QC engineer. I was a student cooperative on that gig.
It has been my experience that if one grouped humans by their vocations that engineers and scientists would be the most dishonest lot.
I remember while in the Army the hierarchy didn't care what you did as long as you looked good and your shit was 'squared away'.
Civilization is but a hollow shell. Culture? What a laugh!

Seal the door where evil goes.
I like that there now as I ponder this latest ramble O' thine. I thought something along the lines of some of what you say as I got out of my cot this morning. I tried all that old meditation and prayer stuff over the years. It seems it is not to be a success with me though as I struggle with old wounds and worn parts of this mortal frame. I do always thank This Divine though as I make my way down the stair to another lesson I hope to learn. One step at a time this morning though which is my new, and latest lesson.
Good vid there again, and true for you. It will get better as a lot of what you say seems to res with some of my interaction as I was about town today. There is a lot of evil out there I thought as I had read some of the daily offerings of news ere I went out and about. I thought as I looked about from a nice view on the local river where I randomize with people as they have the misfortune to stop and chat to me. We the human being are the event horizon if we sit and wonder at that which occurs about our own sphere of influence. Trying to be concious of limits of words ere I post. So to try to sum it all up. I AM I suppose, and maybe hope.

They eyes are the mirrors to the soul alright. Decided difference with enlightened beings and say for example psychopaths. Having studied the psychopath for some time and also having - let me call it a boon of having had one in my life where you soon realise there is something not not right with them, the difference is outstanding. Having spotted a front page picture of Lloyd Blankfein one fine day on the front cover of an MSM paper where he professed to doing God's work, the eyes were no less then that of a psychopath, no cupie doll there. As for Miley Cyrus well I didn't even know she existed until you guys bought her to my attention some months ago. The decadence and perversion is getting beyond a joke, she makes Madonna look like Mother Theresa. As for the horned guys - well stands to reason doesn't it, the horned ones, yes indeed. The reverse pentagram - the fallen. But of course if you don't approve of this in your face perversion and If you say things that are counter to the tribe version you are accused of being homophobic. Call Obama Obongo for instance and then poof (pardon the pun) you are a racist. To be honest I'm over talking to the programmed bots who dare call themselves human. They think they are so hip and cool by towing the tribal line but what is cool and when did it become decadent and totally amoral? The constant conditioning is relentless and I'm still trying to work out why so many take the bait and accept this shit while others refute and reject it. BLAH I could go on forever but everybody here gets it.
Saw the video Viz nice digs, it all looks like it's coming along very nicely. The red brick sounds good, will certainly improve insulation. Nice and roomy and light, I loath dark places, the lighter the better and you look damn fine and right at home there! Good medium, glad you went for it it's good to see you.
Insiam - never seen bats/bird type shadows before but I've had close encounters with similar but in droves and over a period of nights. I had gold sparks appear that got larger over the progressive nights then turned into wait for it - fairies........... no shit. And no I wasn't stoned, tripping or drunk. As I still don't know what I experienced I can't give you any insight either. But I'd rather experience the unexplained phenomena rather than the hypocrites running around the place accusing me of being homophobic! I need to engage in some psychedelics and take more walks up the back of the property into the rain forest. I'll get some respite up there and hopefully some more interesting encounters like the one I had with the fairies.

I didn't think the kid was all that funny. In fact, I laughed harder at the comments the judge made, but oh well.
I don't do talent shows. I wouldn't make it in commercial media. I was a good corporate 'ho in my day one my first job that loved (and got well compensated for), but I ain't that kind o' 'ho to make it in (commercial) show biz. I'm quite happy in the underground with only a few knowing who I am and what I've done, and the fact no one hassles me; being I am a misanthropic isolationist.

Vis, I enjoyed your second video. Thanks for putting in the effort of doing them. Sounds like your 'poofing-in/poofing-out' friends have made it to your new digs (grin). Woo-woo!
I had a somewhat similar experience to your 'monks' at a very early age. I do not remember any shape to it, but I remember a strong sense of being 'protected' - in kind of an overarching sense - while being very young. Much goes on in the Otherwhere...

"I had gold sparks appear that got larger over the progressive nights then turned into wait for it - fairies..."
Back around 1980 in the Seattle area, I had an experience like that. I was doing a dawn meditation in a lean-back chair, as usual. A 'spark' presence appeared in my 'view' and negotiated its way down to my heart area. It did 'something' to my heart (my heart chakra, perhaps), and there was an 'explosion' of light/love/well-being in that area. It was just amazing. Very powerful, and unexpected. I still remember it. Thanks again, (real) faerie...
Best Wishes,
Ray B.

A posting just went up at Siamese Mirrors - Some Notes About Visible
I hope between us (and we are many) that we can do something to show Vis how much we care.
Thomas Farber, if you read this can you please email me at:
the3rdelf@lesvisible.com
Or if anyone knows how I can contact him can you please get in touch? - thank you.
I spoke to Visible a few hours ago and apart from breaking his hip he's badly bruised his face and injured both of his hands. Sorry to not sugar coat this, but he's in a lot of pain. The opiates or whatever the hospital are dosing him with are clearly not strong enough and we can only hope that they will up that dose to make the worst of it go away.
Actually, that isn't all we can do; if you haven't done so already, please give 15 minutes to listen to what James Jancik says and does in this Healing Meditation for Visible. Do it twice, even. (And should you think that stuff like James is doing in that mediation is a crock of shit, then you're on the wrong blog; sod off back to Infowars or wherever you came from).
A badly hurting Visible aside, I did find out that he managed to arrange to have his laptop brought in to him, so I guess he can read the comments here, even though he won't be able to write anything, if at all because of the damage to his hands. Don't expect any new Origamis or Mirrors for a few days at least, probably more.
Lots of people emailing me asking how they can get money to Visible. If I understood Vis correctly, he is "okay" for money to meet his immediate needs while in the hospital. There's no bar, smoking's not allowed (though he gave up last year I think - grin) and I doubt that he will want to hire a hospital TV so he can catch the latest on Fox. I'm not trying to deter people who want to donate a few dollars to Vis - nor would I encourage anyone to do so. All I will write on the matter is that I think he's "okay" for money right now - because he has nowhere much to spend it. That will not necessarily be the case once he is discharged from hospital in 2 weeks (it could be more, that is my best guess). Once he does get out, then yes, he may need some dollars. So anyone wanting to know how to get money right there to him - whether you have mailed me or not - all I will suggest is to use the PayPal button in the left-hand sidebar. Even if he cannot spend money where he is, no doubt some dollars will come in useful to Vis once he's back on his feet.
I'll update again as I'm able and it would be good if anyone else who manages to speak to Vis can do the same.
I spoke to Vis again this afternoon, he sounds a lot brighter. I have the address of the hospital, but before I publish it:
I need first to determine how much longer he's going to be there. I understand that he is going to be transferred elsewhere for rehab treatment - and should that transfer happen as soon as say, 2 - 5 days from now, I can see a situation where a deluge of flowers, chocolates, cakes, acid tabs and marijuana disguised as teddy bears descends upon the hospital from all points of the globe and they end up donating it all to the children's ward. Not a bad thing necessarily, though in my opinion, children eat too many chocolates anyway.
Let me first determine how long it's going to be until he is moved into the rehab unit, its address and for how long he's going to be there (my understanding is that he will be in rehab a good bit longer than he has been / will have been in hospital - there will then be a sufficiently large time frame for any gifts sent, regardless of where from, to reach Vis).
This is not to say that I'm not going to divulge the address of the hospital. Let me see what info comes in over the next few hours.
Thanks to everyone who has written, and sorry if I've not yet answered. I will!
Here's an update of sorts:
A local(ish) 500km distant German reader, Michael is en route today to visit Vis. He's taking him a few essentials and I'm hoping that he might help Vis get online. I was mistaken in a previous comment - Visible isn't and hasn't been online the last however many days (not that I'm aware of, anyway) because although he has his laptop with him, there is no internet facility in the ward (hospital?) where he is.
Anyway, Michael set out a couple of hours ago and I'm going to assume that he'll get to Visible sometime this afternoon. Looking forward now (I think) to whatever feedback Michael can give us.
Finally, sorry if you've written and I've still not responded. My PC is quite poorly too, the last couple of days.
