Harmony Part III

   Following dinner and the watering of the plants, I caught up on a little before Larry and Jessica Matthews returned home around 8. While leafing through Matthew Lewis's "The Monk", it occurred to me the strangeness of an farm owners not showing up to their property till well into the night due to a day job beckoning. When he did finally show up, Larry had scarcely anything but terse responses to questions shot his way from his wife and myself. Baring a striking resemblance to Mr. Montgomery Burns, and possessing the same grouchiness, he set off a tense mood as wolfed down his Foster Farm Chicken, greens, and personal favorite post-dinner popcorn. Figured a long day at the stovepipe/fireplace show was the likely cause of his short answers, and that I could uncover more of what led him into farming and what I could expect out of the work in the morrow. His wife and I tried our best lightening the mood and talked of our interests, family history, travelling, and whatnot.

   It was 9:30 by the time the Matthews finished their supper, and after discovering Carlos was expected at 7 the next morning, I opted to head downstairs and read a little before bedtime. Not long after hitting the sack, a keyboard and bass-driven sound, with a cheesy, low-budget horror flick soundtrack tinge to it, crept its way thru the floor panels of the main floor up ahead. A faint, indiscernible, soft voice was heard speaking above the 'music could almost be made out. I first passed it off as the sound of the washing machine, which was planted directly overhead. 

   It wasn't till 2 weeks of hearing it nightly before I conjured up the energy to asked him what was up with the noise. Dubbed 'Diamond Consciousness', Australian Futurist Fatima Bacot produced it to go along with her views on 2012 and her views on the Mayan Calendar. According to the Keys of Shambhalla website, 'the renewal, transformation and ascension of humanity and the Earth has been her focus. Her work is founded upon the co-creation of Universal Consciousness, Peace and Unity and the forecasted passage into a New Evolutionary Agenda....Beginning first with Astrology at the age of 18, Fatima has been a lifelong student of spirituality and mysticism...is easily able to present a visionary yet balanced, razor-sharp clarity regarding the Big Picture of the prophecies, initiations, challenges, personal and collective changes unfolding and exponentially accelerating as part of the anticipated Shift in Consciousness – and how to seamlessly navigate such changes. She is focused upon the translation of the outworkings of the Divine Plan as humanity ascends into Universal Consciousness.' Additionally, her DC teachings emphasize: 

    -Freedom from fear, conflict and outdated belief patterns, worldviews and ideologies

    -Illuminating the Big Picture 
    -Focused Heart-based intent, sovereignty, support, healing, action and groupwork

    I try my best and claim not to know everything, but with the Y2K scare back in 2000 and the countless 'end-of-the world' prophecies over the centuries coming to pass without much hoopla, I don't take too much stock in folks predicting the catastrophic futures; especially when the person who's telling me what will happen, honestly believes to be a prophet and purchased 40 acres of land to help those of us still around after the 'Divine Plan' takes effect in 2012. 

   In terms of singularities witnessed in my life for an extended period, only his wife, Jessica, is one of the few on the same level as Larry. One night at the dining table, I mentioned Ireland was one of my personal favorite countries I've visited. She immediately asked whether or not I believed in 'the Little People'. Took me a few secs to realize she was talking about leprechauns rather than people with a diminutive stature. According to Mrs. Matthews, a friend of hers glimpsed one during her travels on the emerald island.

  On top of believing in the existence of mythical, fairy-tale creatures, Jessica is a proponent of the Silva Method, widely viewed as a pseudoscience. According to Wikipedia, the method 'claims to increase an individual's IQ and sense of personal well-being by developing their higher brain functions'. According to Jessica, when encountering a problem, she could solve it by initially visualizing it in the mind before acting on it physically, through the Silva Method. The key is to mentally picturing yourself completing a task before it can be accomplished.
