Blender – Handy Links

Official Blender Links

Blender.org Homepage — This is the place to download blender and access news, updates and background information related to Blender.

Blender Official youtube page — Here you will find a few introductory tutorials, lots of news, a bunch of movies made with Blender, and other Blender Org related video uploads. Some of the movies are fun. The tutorials were worth watching. But, for myself, the rest of the videos were not as yet relevant.

Tutorial Channels

These are some of the channels that I have found useful. It is not all the channels. I will be adding links for additional channels as we progress with the tutorials.

Chocofur — youtube channel — This is the channel for chocofur. He’s the fellow doing the 20 part Blender 2.8 tutorial we are using.

Blender — An Introduction

What is Blender?

Blender is a 3D modeling program — and much, much more.

This description comes from the Blender website: “Blender is the free and open source 3D creation suite. It supports the entirety of the 3D pipeline—modeling, rigging, animation, simulation, rendering, compositing and motion tracking, even video editing and game creation.”

For examples of the above mentioned functions check out Blender’s Features page.

Dream-Life: A Gateway to Past Lives

I’ve been finding the Dream-Life Game to operate as a gentle gateway to past lives.

Some folks have a natural blockage to accessing past lives. This “natural blockage” can be described as a concern that when the doorway to previous incarnations is pulled ajar that one may be overwhelmed by a flood of memories. Overwhelmed by quantity, vividness, and perhaps content. I find this concern to be a quite reasonable — misguided, but definitely reasonable.

QMV Running For Groups

Question: “Hi , can you give me ideas on wordings so that i can run for my family members as a whole — and be as effective as doing it individually. It really stresses me out, as i have not been able to do for everyone individually.  I have tried to use “family” or “home and family” but my mind pops up every time, and it distracts and asks: what does “family” mean?  Is it parents or parents & brother or even grandparents…or what about uncle’s family and cousins. Please help me sort this out.”

QMV Why Use “I” When Running For Another

There was a question recently about the proper translation of the Quantum Magic Videos affirmations when doing a run for another.

“When running for myself, translating the “you” of the affirmation into “I” makes sense. That part is easy. But, when I am running for another person should this not be the person’s name — such as Susan?”

When running for another, you are running “for” the other person. One becomes a full proxy. “I embrace the Clear Light” translates as the other person embraces the Clear Light.

If you say “Susan embraces the Clear Light” the proxy connection is weakened. Using the third person reference re-enforces the notion “they are not me, I am not them.” That is why I would not do it that way.

By saying “I embrace the Clear Light” even though you clearly know you are doing all of this on behalf of Susan, that will underscore and make more real the proxy connection.

The runner and the person they run for are still individuals, but during the time of the run it is like an overlay where they both occupy the same place and experience the same things. So using “I” is most correct.

Do the run as you would do the run when running for yourself. But you are fully doing it for the other and giving the benefit to them without regard.

En Español

Recientemente, se formuló una pregunta sobre la traducción correcta de las afirmaciones de Quantum Magic Videos al hacer un recorrido para los demás.

«Cuando corro para mí, traducir el “tú” de la afirmación a “yo” tiene sentido. Esa parte es fácil. Pero, cuando hago el recorrido para otra persona, ¿no debería ser este el nombre de esa persona, como Susan?»

Cuando se hace el recorrido para otro, se está haciendo el recorrido «para» la otra persona. Uno se convierte en un proxy, un representante, completo. Se traduce «recibo la Luz Clara» cuando la otra persona recibe la Luz Clara.

Si dices «Susan recibe la Luz Clara», la conexión del proxy se debilita. El uso de la referencia en tercera persona refuerza la idea de que «ellos no son yo, yo no soy ellos». Por eso no lo haría de esa manera.

Al decir «recibo la Luz Clara», aunque usted sabe claramente que está haciendo todo esto en nombre de Susan, eso subrayará y hará más real la conexión proxy.

El corredor y la persona para la que se hace el recorrido siguen siendo individuos, pero durante el tiempo del recorrido es como una capa donde ambos ocupan el mismo lugar y experimentan las mismas cosas. Así que usar «Yo» es lo más correcto.

Haz el recorrido como lo harías cuando lo haces para ti mismo. Salvo que lo estás haciendo completamente para el otro y dándole el beneficio sin más.

Drive-By Service

In an effort to sort out a few things concerning the nature of spiritual traditions in the current world, I’ve started a short series of blogs. They are a bit random. And, they are a bit organized. You are welcome along for the ride.

The world is a wee bit different. That should not come as a surprise. What comes as a surprise is how much of our thinking and presumptions have not been updated to take into account these differences.

Non-Proximate Voices

Note: The following exercises are not instructions for finding ghost whispers or any other non-proximate phenomena. Rather, it is hoped that this material will function as hints on how to look for those voices.

These instructions are hints on “how” to look, not “where” to look.

“Where” to look is left to the seeker. There are many places where one can find non-proximate voices. One such place is using the Super Beacon. However, there are many other places as well.

The Four Lines — A Graceful Failure

In programming and web-development there is a thing called graceful failure (or graceful degradation). 

A fault-tolerant design enables a system to continue its intended operation, possibly at a reduced level, rather than failing completely, when some part of the system fails.

Wikipedia

Let’s see how this might apply to the Four Lines from the American Book of the Dead. (also known as The Voyager’s Quatrain) Continue reading
