Okay, anyone for a virtual smudging of the two GD forums?

[Cleita]

The trolls are getting unbearable and these trolls are smarter than the freeper trolls because they can spell. Time to send them back to the RW hell holes they came out of.

[Fire Walk With Me]

1. That would make an excellent monthly Prayer/Healing project!

Also if extended to the White House :rofl: :hi:

[Cleita]

3. I wonder about the WH.

Obama seems to have pulled more to the right than he formerly was since being there. But his policies are becoming more conservative than what he campaigned on, which were still pretty centrist. There must be too much bad energy lingering from the Bush years, even the innocence of the Obama children doesn't seem to be enough to wash all of it away.

[Fire Walk With Me]

20. Bush and his friends go pretty deep down the well, so to speak

so any positive energy there is a blessing to the country...

[OneGrassRoot]

2. There's an awful lot of anger over there. n/t

[Cleita]

4. Really, but also a lot

of underhanded agendas as well.

[Cleita]

5. Anyway, I am serious.

I got my sacred sage plant and how do we go about this, waft the smoke to the computer screen while the forums are up? I know it seems silly, but it's worth a try isn't it?

[Why Syzygy]

6. It's been done before...

no reason not to do it again.

[Cleita]

7. Did it help?

I sort of remember Stella leading something like this, but I don't remember if it did any good at least in the short term.

[Why Syzygy]

9. LOL

I don't know. I don't hang out in GD. If I post there it's because I caught something on the Latest page or posted it myself. Facebook has replaced my DU addiction :bounce: though I've never been a big fan of GD.

At the end of last week, there was a bit of a dust up in the computer support group. That was way out in left field. I suggested to the guy who was having a problem to burn some sage. He didn't. But I found out someone else in there enjoys it!

LOL! EDIT: Not a computer "problem"! A personality problem...

[Celebration]

19. That was pretty weird

I did see where someone recommended some free programs, and then someone else jumped all over him because sometime in the past a different person had recommended the same programs, and now this interloper was wanting credit.

What is THAT about? Dude spends too much time on the internet or something. I was literally shaking my head in disbelief. Haven't been back to Computer Support since then. Well, I haven't had significant computer issues since then.

[Why Syzygy]

21. That was just the tip

of the iceberg. The funny stuff got deleted. It's all worked out. Back to normal.
Personalities, ya know.

[conscious evolution]

8. ooga booga smooga ooga anyone?

[FirstLight]

10. I'm goin' IN!

*lights stick, grabs eagle feather and dances around the laptop*

it isn't the trolls, it's the 'normals'! They are getting crazier too... the planet and everything else is in flux, and those of us here in ASAH (ho try to be more conscious of our evolution and consciousness) WE are getting severely rocked - so what do you think is happening in the 'normal' world...?

try the grocery store or the post office or even the roas lately, people are nuts right now...about 1/10th of us are either unemployed or in dire straits...
things are not easy right now, so we could ALL use a good smudge and a lavender bath! ;)

[Cleita]

12. Yes, the lavender bath! I'm so there!

:P

[OneGrassRoot]

17. Isn't that the truth?

Craziness all around!

:hug:

[get the red out]

11. GD is all knee-jerk reactions

Not a lot of thought going on in GD, though I post there, I have FINALLY learned to just avoid certain topics and move on. They remind me of what happens when you try to put my 2 year old niece back in her stroller when she wants to run around. It's loud and instant!

Smudging couldn't hurt!

[Cleita]

13. There is so much that I do avoid but when it gets to racism, hatred of women

and other such topics, and when the trolls start dominating, I just have to jump into the fray. But it's bad. They are the minority that is trying to control the majority. I mean DU was what kept me sane during the first four insane years of the Bush administration. Now that it has become national and important I can't stand the infiltration of really bad energies that are arriving. I say smudge and whatever it takes to run those bad energies off.

[get the red out]

18. Misogyny is what I mostly avoid

And totally irrational rants (I just un-rec those, LOL).

I do try to rec the threads that are rational that pop up to counter the irrational raving folks.

[WhiteTara]

14. letl's not forget to cleanse the corners

and the edges with a little salt water. Sprinkling... saging... opening the door to let all the bad vibes out.

[MrMickeysMom]

15. I've been exercising my restraint - even posted in GDP today-

I see an apologist ready for me in response to the way I feel about Obama's foreign policy, and I sure the hell will see trolls and plants elsewhere (I've steered clear of the dungeon for some time).

I finally figured that I must accept what life (and DU) serves up. Life is too short to want to change some other person or poster, just me.

I'm going back into my astrology now to see when my next Saturn return is and what it means to working locally to help this nation to move positively.

I have the same problem in local government. Trolls, plants, power structures, you name it.

Do I see a pattern here? Hell yeah. :hi:

[murielm99]

16. After awhile, I just start laughing at them.

They take themselves so seriously that they are nothing but funny.

[NuttyFluffers]

22. that's a great idea! you smudge, i cast virtual salt about.

close your eyes, i'll be doing vicious pirouettes while holding the shaker!

:P

[SeattleGirl]

23. I think that's a great idea, Cleita

Smudging, salting, anything to help clear out some of the crazy energy in those forums (heck, many forums could use that assistance!).

I venture into those forums less and less, because of the intensely negative energy. To read a lot of the posts, you'd think Obama was much worse than Bush and Cheney together. While I don't agree with him on some of the things he's doing, I think he's a damned sight better than the last president, and I shudder to think of where we'd be if McCain had won the election.

And then, of course, there are other things that bring out the vitriol. Yep, the trolls are getting unbearable, and I think doing what we can to shoo them away, along with the negative energy they bring, is a great idea.

[get the red out]

25. Agree with you!

You said what I have been thinking.

[juno jones]

24. I dunno, I kinda like getting called a 'Peace Freak'.

:rofl: Like I'd consider that to be an insult! :D

I have noticed the same thing. Not just here,tensions are high all over. I will be glad to help with a bit of smudging. It couldn't hurt...:hi:
