Friends-

Try this.

I went this morning specifically to help out in China with the earthquake, as after four days there are many more about who need some assistance.

So I went out to 27 [Monroe-speak for The Park, where there is a Reception Center and Healing Center] and requested help, specifically for the occasion. I asked for a bus.

I "drove" it "down" [I will dispense with the quotes, but please know it was not down, nor was I driving in the left brained sense] with a teenaged Asian giral sitting in the frist seat grinning silently. She had a yellow scarf tied around her neck, and a white blouse and jacket, and looking down at my hands and arms I could see I had a matching outfit. We drove into a wreck of houses and buildings. It was like looking at one of those cards that changes images as you tilt it back and forth--- I could see an image of the undamaged buildings and in the next moment the heap of concrete and bricks and dust (everywhere dust). We pulled up to a corner where a group of people had gathered. My helper stood up and began to speak through a loudspeaker.

"We will take you to resettlement centers where there is nourishment and help." I was intrigued by the choice of words, and realized she was speaking Mandarin, and that I was understanding it.

We simply filled the bus. All manner of people climbed the steps: Old wrinkled women, many, many children. And when it was full (which was a lot more than I thought I might hold) we truned around and drove it back to The Park. We let them out at the Reception Center.

And then we made another run but that was all I could manage from the C-1 (3D reality) perspective. I have a sense as I sit here this morning that I continued to drive the bus all night as my body slept.

I find I am doing many more such multiple retrievals, though I still do singles from time to time. And I always check a certain area of "Focus 23" (rather like a bus stop now that I think of it) to see if there is anyone there waiting to go as I pass by. Often there is, more often there is not. Over all I think these beings are sent or led there, and that they are part of my "I-There" which All One Of Us is reassembling, like the Mothership calling her probes home.

Anyhow, why not try a group grab like this? Or make up something else, but there is great need, and the Veil is getting very thin. Like Bruce said, pretend. Fake it 'til you make it. You would be surprised if you would only try....when the student is ready (I think, actually, more when the ego permits...).


Great Love and Light,

Thomas

ok I'll try a group round up. you know Frank DeMarco does this too. I was a beginning retriever at 9/11 where I saw many retrievers working that time, I remember asking one what I could do, he told me to go into the building and see if anyone was laying under rubble. sure enough I found a lady, who promptly asked me who I was?  :)
lol. I forget what I said to alleviate her suspicions but I gave her a hand outside where she joined a line.

I'll try and see if I'm able to assist in China and come back and post if I am. thanks for the post

Hi,
I've tried it. Tuning in from F27 with a helper I was in a scene where I could see debris of one or more buildings. I noticed I was in green army clothing. There were people in front of the debris. We got their attention. I communicated them to come with us, but that wasn't what they were interested in, they wanted us to go to the debris and help to get out the people buried under it. I felt that wasn't my job in the moment, so I told them that "there" (pointing at) are specialists coming who would take care of those buried. Now some of the citizens were willing to go to another place. Some couldn't walk, and I and the other helpers had to "materialize" some simple vehicles to transport the injured. We then walked on a path. This was a tricky thing, as I had in mind that this was their place, which they know, and it was needed to draw their attention away off this, their familiar place, so I imagined this path to be a newly constructed one in a formerly wayless area, so that they could accept that they were on a way to something different than the place of the desaster. Along the way were (or I imaginated it into being) little stations, tents, for food and water, and to quickly help provisorily the wounded. So we went on, and I tried to imprint the impression to the retrievees of being on the march for quite a long while, so that they could believe that they now would reach a hospital. We then came from the narrow path we had walked to an open lawn with a white building in some distance, and I signaled to them that this is our destination. Some headed onto the lawn, were welcomed by helpers and disappeared. I thought I should try to draw the attention of the others away from that disappearing, as I felt some kind of anxiously/shocked rumouring, so I imagined an "attention-tunnel" to this building for the croud, so that they would not see the disappearing of those who had been headed on. When we were near the white hospital-building I felt my job was done and I phased out.

I don't know where this was located. I guess either China or Myanmar.

Hi. I didn't like my retrieval but here it is: I waded into rubble and many people in China I think. I tried to imagine a bus or means of conveyance but it was hard, I couldn't decide on the conveyance or how to get a lot of people's attention to get on one. so instead I waded in my usual style to pluck one person out.

I saw a man cut in half and his consciousness was in the upper torso and he was in shock and nobody was paying attention to his screaming and yabbering. I was heavily doubting this was a real retrieval at this point but decided to "go with it anyway."  I quickly became a doctor to stitch him together, the lower to the upper, telling him to lie quietly while I produced a needle and thread.
I sewed him together like I do this all the time. then I said close your eyes, while I pull the thread out so that you are now one piece. I pulled out the stitch and he was now whole and I got him to his feet and said let's get out of here, I know of a truck we can ride on.
He wanted to look for family members and he joined some others to do that and I told him come back with his family members and get on one of the trucks, as we now had more trucks arriving one after the other. I then imagined the trucks filling up and moving towards the light.

I remembered after reading Spooky's account, that the tables and tents for refreshments along the way is a good stopover place. I at first saw a rickshaw I guess it's called, like a stretcher for the man I sewed up and some others helped me put him on that thing at first. He was very happy to get sewed back together.

Tough work Alysia!
I would like it, too, being sewed together again.  :)

Spooky  :D you crack me up

Hi,

After placing the intent to be of help in China, I sensed at least three Helpers around me as we then quickly came upon a scene of total destruction, at night (There was a strange vibration/feel to the area and I wondered later if that had anything to do with earthquakes in general). Large chunks of cement and crumpled building materials were everywhere, dust and steam rising slowly against a background of a single blue-white light, like the kind used in night searches.

As I looked around in the dark I stopped paying attention to the initial vibration I picked up on and noted a heavy silence, the kind you experience at night in more of a rural setting. As I scanned the area trying to locate anyone in need, a Helper approached on my right and pointed toward the far side of what looked like a patch of tilled dirt, a garden not yet planted. A young girl was there. I turned to thank the Helper and saw many Helpers/Retrievers coming in, touching down lightly to the ground to help.

I approached the area the Helper had indicated and saw a girl of about 6-7 years old, sitting in the soft dirt. I could feel that she wasn't upset, nor was she even confused really--a kind of stunned state of mind would describe it, shock. Becoming aware of me didn't seem unusual to her and before I could offer words of comfort she let it be known that she wanted her stuffed animal, a small bear. That was the only thing wrong with life at that moment--she didn't like being separated from her bear. I made a show of looking for and finding a small, stuffed teddy bear, complete with floppy red bow and lots of dirt, buried in the earth several feet away. Once it was in her arms she then became open to my suggestion that it was time to go, and a Helper was right there to lead her away from the area.

I was then aware of a repetative cha-ching noise and turned to see an elderly man walking his bicycle down a wide, dirt road lined with small businesses. The cha-ching felt familiar and I realized he had one of those old, finger operated bells on his handlebar, the kind a lot of bikes came with in my childhood. He was average height, thin and radiated a wonderful happiness. It was mid-day, the air dry, and he grinned at me as he continued ringing the bell, as if that was his only voice. Paying attention to me helped him then suddenly become aware of Helpers around us and they fell into a lively conversation...which was my signal that he was in good hands.

There was one more retrieval but I can't recall it right now. I'll go back later today to help out more. I'm getting that there are still bodies to be found--even some areas no one knows as of yet were destroyed.

Much love,

Ginny

Thomas,

Your bus idea reminds me of the 9-11 retrievals...as well as a homeless shelter in the Homeless City within the BST some of us worked a few years back. I was helping folks there on an individual basis until one day when I got curious and decided to check out the rest of the shelter, and opened a door in the back. I walked outside and saw several yellow school buses, which were used for sightseeing or 'field' trips---many to F27.

What a wonderful job you're doing :).

Much love,

Ginny

Spooky,

You came up with some really creative ideas to help them out, especially the 'attention tunnel'. What was it about the tunnel that helped to divert their attention, or was it just that it suddenly being there grabbed their attention away from the others disappearing?

Great job. Think I'll return to China or Myanmar with a group retrieval in mind.

Much love,

Ginny

Alysia,

Sewing him up did the trick. I mean, you got him to calm down, to accept aid, to realize that he was going to be okay...preparing him for Helpers. I've been in some retrievals that just seemed too far-fetched or weird, but when done and back in C1, all of it made perfect sense.  :)

Much love my friend,

Ginny

Hi Ginny,
when I had the feeling that the people behind me began to worry about what's going on, so that I became afraid they might run off in all directions, I looked straight ahead at this white building, focused on it, we might call that something like a tunnel view; then I imagined this concentration on the destination, the building, to be like a transparent tube extending from me to the building and backwards over the people behind me so that they would all turn their heads and focus on the building as I did, and this way holding the group together and no one would go astray from those oddities which were happening.
It is much like when you imagine you are with others on a walk, and you see something very special, so that you are very focused on it, and at the same time stretching out your arm, pointing at it and saying "look at this!", and the persons with you will all follow your direction of your focus/your arm, as if you had created a force-field which is moving the heads of the people.

Hi Spooky, Ginny and TG. from an overview of this entire thread, I see us building something together.
which I mean our single reporting doesn't mean too much by itself, but as we add on to each other it makes it more clear what retrievals point to, as an eternal overview rather. if that makes senses.
Ginny, since you've been gone, there has not been much interest in retrievals, just on occasion.
We put this room for retrievals in especially since it wasn't particularly "safe" to write about doing a retrieval on the main free for all thread. I mean, it didn't generate any talk except skeptical talk and so here we are, skeptical talk is good too, but right away, I mean it shuts down wanting to share these journeys. so here we are.

You're right Ginny, when I was done and back in C1, telling myself I'm crazy, in a way I thought just the energy I put into it could be used somehow by guides to get the place cleared of one less person, not one less person but I mean the negative energy buildup, the noise level is reduced by one less person. I understand negative energy to be noise. so thanks for your comment.

Spooky as you described the tunnel you made again I got a clue about something. I thought about something Bruce said; he said as the event lines are made, it's like retrievers or explorers who do this are making these pathways out there with their minds, which in that case, beginning retrievers follow these event or grid lines to make it easier for them.
I thought about the lines or pathways as things. like made out of light energy, which lights up the dark places. an image.
you're right, if you point at something others tend to automatically look to see what you're pointing at, and that is getting their attention..which is all a retriever does, or has to do, the rest the guides can do, but we can also do more as we are able to conceive of it. like going all the way to focus 27 with them.
I suppose we could do that too..

I remember I wanted to follow Cami, to see where she went with her friends but I knew she would be fine and I didn't go and wasn't invited either, but tell me Ginny, do you ever go all the way to the reception area after you do a retrieval?

I think you did one time.

Alysia,

Yes, I've escorted many to F27, the Reception Center, and reported so in retrievals years ago--but not because I felt that was the best place for them. I leave it up to Helpers (who I feel are usually members of the retrievee's Oversoul or Disk). I use to escort or follow to see where folks ended up and why, in a BST world, F27. It was a good learning experience for me...I learned a great deal. Taught me when to keep my big mouth shut  for one thing. I tended to flap my gums too much during my first year of retrieving :D.

Hey I'm glad you mentioned the noise thing--it came to me: grief, sorrow, despair. I've encountered it before but it's been awhile. We've gotta go back, Alysia. I'll be gone for a couple of days but I'll do some more retrieving and report back here.

Love ya,

Gin

ok ginny, I'll look and see if I can find you there. talk soon, alysia  :)

These reports are very inspiring--- thank you!

And Alysia, your reflections  in #11 really help give perspective on this R forum.
So--not to worry that many do not visit here? Just use it as needed?

We had friends travelling in China when this disaster happened. I suppose it shows that I am too bogged down in C1 matters, but instead of seeking them out ( a possible retrieval), I've been waiting to hear they're OK, which we found out yesterday.

I think I can drive a schoolbus  ;)

Love, Bets

I'm not the worry wart sort Bets, on the positive side, people will report their retrievals when they are able to recognize they have done one. there's been a few say, hey! is this a retrieval? then they go onto to describe the experience and it turns out to be a classic example of human nature helping another human out within dreamscape or obe.

it's said we all go out of body each night. its just we don't remember much of what we do yet. glad your friends are ok in China. you probably could have found out sooner if you'd set an intention instead of waiting. but u didn't, so don't beat yourself up, sometimes we are just afraid to deal with it.

thanks for helping out here

hey laffing rain,

see now there's this whole new area for retrieval stories.  was in such a rush before never even noticed. will repost my china and burma one here, plus some oldies from the book (i f i don't get the cut 'n paste all wrong) ...

thanks, gordon

yes Gordon  [smiley=vrolijk_26.gif]  I am reading still your second book and find it goes quite smoothly and enjoyably for me with a couple of spots where you blend concepts nicely, a way with words, I'd say you have.  would be very happy to see any retrievals posted here if u get time.

Hi everyone,

I sent out to Helpers the intention to help wherever needed and I got back that the disaster in China was still paramount. I then sensed a lot of Helpers around me, all intently focused on a large circle or ball of golden white light. It then looked as if it had some depth to it--felt like the opening to a tunnel. Since it was giving off a great deal of much appreciated light, illuminating a huge crowd of people, I turned my attention to the task at hand.

At first glance it looked like a gathering of people at a train station or public forum, people simply waiting. As I focused on the individuals nearest me I realized that most seemed to be stunned, in a state of shock, unaware of each other.

A distraught, older Chinese woman, with a little boy riding piggyback, was trying to move as fast as she could to escape danger. I tried to see the boy's face but watched him become fuzzy, as if he were going out of focus. When my attention went to something else he started coming back into focus again. I understood this meant that the woman had no idea there really wasn’t a child on her back. Each time I looked at the boy he seemed to shift/dissolve and then reappear somewhat when my attention was back on the woman. It was her belief that the boy was riding piggyback and that he was alive. I got her to slow down long enough to help her realize there were medics with cots nearby and she just had to remain calm.

I then saw another woman, covered in sweat and dirt, screaming over and over she had fallen into a hole. For a second I saw her in the middle of a crater, filled with what was left of a destroyed building in an urban area, and I knew I was experiencing what she was experiencing. As soon as I was able to get her to notice me a Helper stepped up and started communicating with her.

Another woman appeared, about twenty feet away, running right by me...just running in a panic, to save herself. The idea that she could be stuck running like that for who knew how long, seemed awful. A Helper was there to take her away once I caught up with her.

I picked up and held one toddler on my left hip and took the hand of another child and walked them to a double-decker bus, the kind common in England. I got the idea to get several people to notice Helpers by lightly touching a shoulder or arm. One man acted as if he had been gently reminded to come out of daydreaming and get on with his day.

I was then suddenly looking at a body of water, with a Chinese junk sailing across my field of vision (isn't that what they call the small boats that many fish with and live on?) and wondered if some of the destruction happened near an ocean or lake?

I'm going again--there are so many stuck. Thanks for reading and much love,


Ginny

thanks Ginny. you're a hard worker darlin!
