does anyone else feel like this lunar eclipse that's supposed to happen wed. night is a significant sign of a new beginning?

i'd like to know what you guys think b/c i feel like we are at a turning point in 2008, the year of great change.

the advantage of being a pessimist is that you're either 1) right or 2) pleasantly surprised. :d

last year i got pretty wrapped up in 07-07-07 - i was receiving "signs". then it was fire the grid, 07-17-07. then something in november (the 20th?). anyway, point is, i was expecting things to happen that "didn't", and when they didn't, i would feel both disappointment and a little "silly" - i knew better... i would assume the same for tomorrow, hence the pessimistic point of view... the eclipse should be beautiful nonetheless, something i'm looking forward to experiencing!

in the end, each and every day is significant and powerful; a chance for infinite possibilities to experience oneness; radiate love; create peace...

i agree that in this year of 2008 there will be some turning points, but the major changes have already been put into motion, in my opinion. what we are experiencing now is the "ramping up" of energies from both polarities here on 3d earth and the massive influx of energy from the galaxy as we approach and cross that pivotal moment in space-time circa 2012.

i hope this in received as intended - i'm not trying to burst your bubble or sound like a know-it-all, but rather offer another perspective gained from experience. and, who knows, if enough souls around the world do accept responsibility for creating reality, then i think it is possible to achieve critical mass (in terms of raising consciousness), that something would indeed happen. unfortunately, i do not think we're ready yet for that...

the members here on this forum still have much growing and learning to do, as do all the "awakened", before we start creating these changes. in the end, when we (collective group consciousness) are ready, i do think we can step up to the plate, meet the challenges, and far exceed any expectations. patience...

don't know if tonight's eclipse will have any special significance.

i heard that every month there are a couple eclipses some where on the planet but that usually they are out over the ocean somewhere.

aww... c'mon art, you're not really that pessimistic, are you.
i, for one had an extremely powerful experience with the fire the grid meditation. i even wrote about it here on this forum.:d
so don't lose the faith, art, perhaps there are miracles happening just barely beneath the level of your perception, and with just a bit of faith, maybe you could see it's unfolding. then you could post about it here on the forum and inspire everyone here! :d

manny,

loved your response! so far i've been rather "blunt" in responses towards people. however, there was a little bit of sarcasm behind those words.

even with what i previously wrote, i do believe the aforementioned dates did hold signficance and tremendous "input" was sent from loving people like yourself, surely "charging" the "grid", etc.

in all honesty, my reply was based more on a "reply to myself";when i got all pumped up about these dates with overly-grandiose expectations. it was a good buddy, rob reidel, who brought me "down to earth" so to speak with a reply on an earlier thread. i guess i was just speaking back to myself... when i joined the forum back in 04/07, it seemed to be a place of rapid learning, growth among all members. so, my apologies to anyone who got "bummed out" by my response.

while this sacred place of learning and sharing keeps growing, i often read "newer members" posts with that "been there, done that" perception. (maybe another poor choice of words as i totally respect the infinite experiences that have molded each and every one of us to who we are today...)

due to this, i haven't really been as engaged, most likely due to the desire for people to come to their own conclusions. after all, this journey is pretty awesome, would you agree?

again, i liked your reply. i'm not pessimistic, nor overly optimistic. just playing things day by day and "letting go" of those things i don't control... :d

btw - i thoroughly look forward to the eclipse tonight!!! its about 2 hours from now...

the night ended up being as clear as can be even though they had predicted clouds. i kept watching on and off until the moon was completely covered in shadow which also coincided with around 13.30 oclockish local sidereal time.

i thought this would be an awesome time to meditate. now i didn't have an out of this world experience, however i did feel a definite energetic shift compared to my normal meditations as well as sense of vibrating deeper into myself. (hard to explain )

while meditating i threw out a couple of questions, what is my purpose and how can i best provide service to others.

later i was reading in bed a book by one of my favorite tibetan monks and these are the words i read:

"what do you want? the choice must be yours , for you can have whatever it is that you desire. a pointer - money , success on this earth? and then eclipse and a start all over again. or will you choose spirituality, purity and service to others?"

i thought it was very cool and synchronistic that the word eclipse was used! i guess i got my answer!

peace and love to all,

megan

the eclipse him me very hard emotionally. at the time i did not even make the connection. i wasn't until i got over that hump the next day that i realized there was a total lunar eclipse that day. any one else had a tough day that day?

i found out that morning that my daughter, whose 12th birthday it was on feb. 20, invited 10 people for dinner - the entirety of her father (my ex's) family, including her father. i was extremely sick with the flu and still trying to recover financially from my l.a. trip, but somehow managed to pull it off. boy was i sick after everyone finally left.

does that counts as a tough day? perhaps it was the eclipse that gave me the strength to endure the night.

i was not thrilled about having her father here as this is a man who chooses to not financially support his daughter, however i decided to send love, think of him as a co-creator and think of him as one with me and you know what, i felt pretty good about it. it's so much easier to love someone than to resent them.

i guess there are lessons in everything, some are just tougher than others.

i didn't even know there was an eclipse until just now, but it turns out on that day, for some reason, i kept breaking into tears. maybe there is some correlation there; i was good all month.

yes! i had clear enough skies to observe the eclipse. i felt great vibes while the shadow was in the process of covering the moon. when the moon was fully covered i could not see any light in the sky. the stars disappeared as well! is this normal? the moon and the stars were no where to be seen. the sky was just full of stars. mabey this is what happens, i guess i havent noticed this before during other eclipses. but i then, staring at the dark sky, felt the most alone feeling. like the light in the cosmos could one day be gone just like that. it made me meditate on the idea of a planet of people not having a cosmos to observe. how lonely that would be to feel like there isnt something more! i hope i never have to feel this feeling again. very sad for a moment. then soon, 1 star appeared...then another, then the moon started to show her color from the eclipse. i also felt, that the moon was aware in a way, of other energies of all kinds were observing her in slipping into a shadow and slipping out of a shadow. the earth was aware of those who enjoyed the eclipse. she experiences through our vibes of energy when we embrace and appreciate any living force in the universe.
gosh-am i rambling again

i love love love observing the sky! i really truly believe its a cosmic clock for the universe and as well as ourselves.

peace to all,

the local forecast was for cloudy skies so i didn't even plan on watching it, but my wife dragged me outside any ways, and i was pleasantly surprised by a clear sky, with no cloud in sight!

no profound spiritual experiences here, but i must say i felt awestruck by the simple beauty in that magnificent night sky.

[Anakattawl]

i was able to watch the eclipse with my fiance, her son, and his friend. i also called a buddy and let him know.

what struck me most was everyone else's perception/description - the kept saying "blood red" - while it certainly had a red hue, i wouldn't have used the decriptor "blood"...

or, maybe because i pretty much watched it from start to eclipse, maybe my vision was a little altered...

either way, everyone who did watch it was appreciative the next day. it seems "they" all take for granted the beauty of a full moon, eclipse, sunrise, sunset, etc., and this experience seemed to "wake" them up, so to speak.

yes bobby i did experience a much more emotional day. i found myself being teary eyed several times during the day (which seemed to surprise me) and it didn't really seem connected to anything in particular just a sense of releasing old or releasing loss, shedding layers (if that makes any sense) but as night and the eclipse came i noticed both in my meditation time and life time that i could sense another level of the veil being lifted as if it were thinner and a higher vibration of joy has set in. it seemed to be everywhere. it was a truly beautiful thing that i can tap into at any moment ( if i choose ).

much love
