That's right friends it's SHE time once again. The theme for the Wednesday August 31, 2011 Synchronized Hyperspace Event will be transformation through fire. Myths from various cultures around the world tell of the theft of fire. Fire was stolen from the gods and gifted to the humans. The thief/giver changes according to the culture but all these myths tell the story of the theft. The flame is literally the spark of the divine, a gift from the gods in the hands of man. Fire has the ability to purify and renew all things. The pheonix combusts in a flurry of smoalk and luminosity burning away that which is outmoded and become obsolete making room for new life to rise from the ashes. Take this opportunity to release and transform those energies which no longer serve you by offering them to the flames. Allow the blaze to metamorphose these energies and carry your intentions on the sacred smoalk up to the heavens above.  ♥♥♥ Burn bright my friends ♥♥♥

What time? I suppose it is best to say the time in GMT and let people calculate for local time zone. The SHE's could be even more intense if at least a good portion of the particpants attempt to vape at the same time. (Or at least time the peak of their entheogen of choice if they're not flush with smoalkables...) "Curiouser and curiouser..." ~ Alice
"Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it. Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many. Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books. Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations. But after observation and analysis, when you find that anything agrees with reason and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all, then accept it and live up to it." ~ Buddha

Is it horrible or negative (sorry - it's the truth) to say that some have such bad associations with fire it could literally ruin a trip? "But even if nothing lasts and everything is lost, there is still the intrinsic value of the moment. The present moment, ultimately, is more than enough, a gift of grace and unfathomable value, which our friend and lover death paints in stark relief."-Rick Doblin, Ph.D. MAPS President, MAPS Bulletin Vol. XX, No. 1, pg. 2Hyperspace LOVES YOU

perhaps this is a time for those folks to re-examine their relationship to this life giving element? Or maybe they should just meditate upon their inner fire

Interesting, as the associations are life stealing and death dealing, not life giving. "But even if nothing lasts and everything is lost, there is still the intrinsic value of the moment. The present moment, ultimately, is more than enough, a gift of grace and unfathomable value, which our friend and lover death paints in stark relief."-Rick Doblin, Ph.D. MAPS President, MAPS Bulletin Vol. XX, No. 1, pg. 2Hyperspace LOVES YOU

Most concepts and elements have positive & negative connotations and associations. Personally I LOVE fire. It is endlessly fascinating and made life for the homonids who learned to control it immeasurably easier. The Prometheus myth is classic fire meme. A compassionate being had to steal it for the humans, and was punished for doing so. The prices we have paid (or others have had to pay for us) to get where we are... See you all at SHE time. [Of course this way of doing it means that Euro nexians and US nexians won't interact as much... to say nothing of our Asian friends.] "Curiouser and curiouser..." ~ Alice
