Zeus' Palatial Blog

Zeus, where have you been?
A question I’ve been asked more than once recently.

To be honest I’ve been around, but my “free time” has dried up as I have many things on the go as it were. GoldBear and I continue to work on a project that eats a great deal of time and resources, so that’s where I’ve been the last month, or so. There is light at the end of the tunnel, because Beta testing begins soon, which means that the fury of programming is finally coming to a close (until we add something else into the mix). Once the heavy load portion of our little project appears I’m taking a vacation.

That’s right I’m going on vacation - without computers. A little sand, surf, sailing, and relaxing to reward myself for a job well done (and yes my wife is going too). Which means I’ll return to the world of the Palatium in mid February.

As a further note I think I’m going to shake up the Community a little. It’s been 13 years and time for something new. You’ll have to wait until February to hear about those plans though.

At any rate Happy New Year to all and we’ll all talk soon.

Alright. We leave tomorrow morning for the cottage, so those of you that follow along with my every few day posts please don’t be alarmed when nothing happens for a week. I’m not taking the Internet with me on this trip (just to escape for awhile) so unfortunately you’re all stuck without me (please keep the cheering down).

While I’m away in the woods it’ll give me some good nature time to explore energy lines (yay for being close to several converging ley lines) and to practice some psi. I say practice but since I use psi every day in my life it’s more exploring techniques that I don’t get to all the time (or that can’t be used in front of others for fear of reality disturbances).

I must say that I’m surprised Hera hasn’t asked to uproot the house and take it with her. The sheer amount of stuff that we’re taking for a week is incredible. It’s a good thing we were forward thinking enough to purchase a vacation vehicle that is large enough to handle all the extras. While we’re gone we’re also lending a car to her brother - under Hera’s strict rules - it’s a first for her in trusting her brother so we’ll see how she handles it once we’re back. Hera’s packing is epic in nature with lists of cross referenced everything. My job is simply to pack the vehicle making sure we can access everything that needs accessing and that there is enough room for the four of us. And yes, I remembered to pre-cool the electric cooler so the drinks are cold when we arrive. Tonight we’re doing the car shuffle and since I already loaded 120L of fuel into the van it’s all set to go for our journey. I say that like it’s some huge trek across the Nation when in fact it’s only a five hour drive (well okay three but I cheat since I dislike driving for that long).

Those of you expecting a shift next week I’m thinking of starting Wednesday mid-afternoon and increasing perspectives into Friday. For the rest of you there are some waves of charged energy sweeping around the globe so you get to ride those. Be on the lookout for “touchy” bosses and authority figures since they’ll be a tad on the grumpy side.

Best of the Energies!

Hera has begun making lists of things we need to remember when making the trek to the cottage for the week. Of course the cottage isn’t really the “rough it in the woods” type of cottage that you may have in mind for a Canadian mid-summer getaway. To be quite honest it’s more of a chalet that can comfortably sleep 20 people. All the modern amenities are included of course, since it’s about the only way I could convince Hera to go “camping”. We have a nice week away with the six adults (Hera and I, my sister and brother-in-law, and cousin and his wife) and our five boys. Most of our time will hopefully be spent in the lake and just lazing around though I’m sure we’ll hit up some amusement by walking through the tops of the trees on little tiny ropes that really shouldn’t have more than a couple pounds on them.
Craziness for sure when you get us all together, but good memories for the kids too.

I’ve been watching the global energy shifts and the local ones too and have been quite busy in keeping up with mapping and surveying. Those of you that have been paying attention I’m sure are wondering what in the world is going on. So much resetting and balancing of general areas and the equilibrium of energetic states is simply stressing out areas and they’re having to shift to compensate. It’s been driving people to be a little on the crazy side - even when they don’t realize what’s going on. Shield if you have them, because wow …

Well, it’s been a wild few days since last I posted. Hera had some vacation days and so we did the family thing in between all the other things that needed doing.

Canada Day saw us out at the park as per usual enjoying the carnival and exhibits. The boys made it into the paper again this year - a tradition started by Hercules when he won the cutest baby in the city contest back when he was just six months old. Thank goodness the boys picked up some of their mother’s “good looks” genes to go along with their psi. I’m pretty sure their having flaming red hair and “combust in the sun” white skin has nothing to do with their popularity on red and white Canada Day. At any rate we had a great time on our picnic and riding the rides .. even the ones designed to reduce wrinkles through g-forces.

Since it’s been sort of rainy lately it gave Hera and I loads of time to redecorate and redesign the house (oh joy). Luckily it is for the most part finished .. there are still a few things to do but the decorating fund ran dry so Hera has to wait to finish things up. I’m extremely heartbroken about not being able to finish all the strenuous work (hahaha).

As the energies around the globe ebb and flow and disorder continues to infiltrate as it does PEHQ has kept me busy looking after things. If you’ve been in the chat or sent an e-mail and are wondering where I disappeared to well that’s where. I should be around this weekend and a little more next week and then I’m called away for a week.

Called away? Okay, me and the rest of the family are going to the cottage for a week. It’ll be nice to get up there for some relaxation (which never really seems to happen), fun, and practice.

Today, in the sun, the boys have been busy in Play Central whilst I took down some cherry trees and planted some new plants in their place. Unfortunately the trees had just become far too large for where they were so it was time for a change. I’m actually glad that I was able to create a new area of plants since they were from when my step-mother passed away and it better showcases them. Tomorrow I plan on moving some of my mother’s plants as well as my grand-father’s to create a family garden of sorts.

Seeing as I promised the boys they could go swimming and play with their new pirate ships - complete with working cannons that shoot water balloons - I should wrap this up and put on my lifeguard gear. BOTE!

So a tornado went through yesterday - no one was hurt here on Olympus (it somehow went around us). We did have enough water that part of the basement flooded, but not much damage and the cause has already been rectified. It’s always something for fun and new to keep me on my toes. Mind you my neighbours probably think me crazier than usual since I was outside in the storm fixing issues with neighbours houses and ensuring that those that were in the wrong place needed to move and seek shelter. I realized I was going to get wet so I put on my bright orange swimsuit and my ever loved “I’m Evil” tshirt (thanks Aaron). Believe it or not I was having a blast!

I finally fixed my lawnmower, so I don’t have to use my neighbour’s massive front-wheel drive mower anymore (though it is still stored in my garage). I’m back to my little red mower that could. I tuned it up, gave it an oil change and sharpened the blade while I had it apart and wow does it ever run like a top now. Just to put it through its paces I cut the yards and it performed exceptionally well.

We made it through Day 1 of summer vacation, so there’s only another couple months to make it through. I do believe we’ll be going to the Chalet in a couple of weeks for a getaway. Nice little distraction in the Northern woods. Let’s see if Hera decides to play face-to-face with wolves again this year. Personally I’m betting on the bears coming back, which is a great experience to use some inter-species psi and educate the boys at the same time.

I’ve got a bunch of drywalling and painting lined up for the next couple of weeks as we continue to turn the main floor of the house into whatever Hera’s new vision is. She’s been watching too many of those design shows and reading through the design magazines again. I do admit to it looking really quite nice though.

All typed out for now … BOTE

I’ve technically been back to Olympus for a few days, but have neglected to blog only because I’m still adjusting back into the swing of things. I’d taken the time to wind a lot of things down before I left for the gathering on the west coast and now I’m in the process of getting everything back up to speed.

Several great things went on while tucked safely away in a pocket reality on the west coast. This year seemed to really focus on healing and telepathy. I’m in the process of re-creating and composing new articles and information tidbits that others might find interesting. I have to admit that it’s been a couple years since I was out west for a “holiday” and getting out on the water to talk with the whales is always a great experience. I also enjoyed walking through the virgin forests and communing with the animals (and watching the absolute look of horror on the faces of some younger members for the bear sessions). Guess I’m just a nature-loving kind of guy.

Now that I’m back home I have to get out to the shop to weld my lawn mower back together …. well, just the handle really. I turned a corner and so did the handle but the rest of the mower decided not to. I ended up sheering the handle clean off. I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen anyone ever break the handle of their mower before, so good on me. Of course this happened after I fixed my weed eater, which my brother in law thought would work so much better with a 5:1 mix rather than a 32:1 mix. Two fouled plugs, new filters and an incredible cloud of blue smoke later I can keep my lawn in shape again (at least the edges until I fix the mower).

So what’s next you ask? Well, in online psi news I’ve decided to hook-up with Sean (aka Peebrain of Psipog) and several other noted online psychics, psions, etc. in creating a new private proof of concept community. At this point I’m not entirely sure what’s planned as far as opening up to a larger grouping, but for now it’s being kept to the old tried and true segment of admins. I’m sure the info we come up with will be released over time. Many of you that interact in the courses and chat will see my info first since I’ll be needing a lot of help in getting the info collected and together. It should be great fun.

There’s actually a lot more to tell but we’ll leave something for me to talk about in future posts!

I leave tomorrow for the gathering out west. Those of you on the Island and in the valley - I’m sorry

Though I have yet to actually pack to leave I have mentally prepared myself for the trip. I’m also flying with a suitcase full of maple syrup and related maple products as gifts (search my bags? There’s nothing of interest in these bags - move along). At any rate I will be gone for the better part of a week, so don’t get all up in arms because I’m not posting blog updates. I promise to fill you all in once I return to Olympus and Hera releases me from her strangle hold (I’m leaving her with Hercules and Apollo for the first time ever).

Operation Psi Practice with Svenove and Nesjamag got off to a smashing start last week and though I pinged out of the practice session on Saturday due to some family happenings (isn’t that always the way) it was a great success. If you haven’t joined the Psi Palatium Circle yet then WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! From the main website choose the Circle link (on the left menu) and sign up for the course. They’ve put a lot of work into the setup and execution of things. If you’re looking to improve, practice, or simply learn anything about psi this is the way to do it!

As always with the Community while I am gone the rest of the staff are in charge and will democratically take care of everything per the Chat Channel Charter and Community Charter. Your other option is always to wait for my return at which time I review everything anyways

Best of the Energies Everyone!

Another beautiful day on Olympus. The boys are outside having a grand old time and I’m hard at “work” once again. What’s new on the mountain these days? Let’s see .. I reassembled the trampoline a couple of weeks ago and everything else of the boy’s is back up and ready for summer (let’s hear it for Play Central). We did get a new pool for them to enjoy when it’s warm. Nothing big of course just one of those little 3m round pools. It came complete with pump, cover, and brominator. Oh yes, back to chemistry class for me. I was weighing the benefits and differences between bromine and chlorine use in pools and decided that since the pool is in full sun all day and can have quite a high bather load I’d stick with bromine. Being able to look after the pool much like a spa is much more convenient for me anyways.

The world of psi has seen some interesting waves in North American energies lately. I always feel I should apologize to people in Europe or elsewhere since I don’t keep constant tabs on those areas. It’s not that I don’t want to, but they’re outside of my normal haunting grounds. It’s been an interesting ebb and flow of energies that will see a rogue wave of energy coming in around the 25th … those of you that can shield should do so on that day.

I leave for a week on Tuesday so don’t be all up in arms if I don’t update for a bit. Once the gathering starts I’m not entirely sure I’ll have the spare time to blog, nor access to a computer for that matter. Yay for psychic times. Oh, and those of you in the valley, and on the Island we promise to contain balance as per usual standards.

It’s raining today which is alright because it is forcing me to stay inside and work like I’m supposed to.

Today I finally finished the creation of PDF files for some of my ebook series, and courses. I will make them available eventually through the website, but for now you can grab them from PsiBOT’s fserver when you’re in the chat channel. What I did was clean up Paradigm Shift, Psi Vigour and my recent Understanding Dreams 101 and then saved them into PDF formatting. They have nice cover pages and tables of content too. Hopefully those of you that want an offline copy of these series will be satisfied by my work I’m looking to continue my trend of PDF files and will be adding in my Psi Classes series from 2000 and then work on recreating aspect of the article archive within PDF format.

There is an upswing of energy in my reality as I continue to get ready for my West Coast gathering in May. That’s a reminder that I will be gone for a couple weeks over the two-four.

It’s the first week of Hera’s (my wife’s) new job and after reading through her new schedule I’m pretty much convinced that she’s trying to kill me. Not that her attempts have ebbed at all over the years, but we’re going to see just how spontaneously flexible my own schedule can be over the next few months. Of course I was well aware of all of this beforehand, and that was one of the driving factors behind owning my own company (flexible schedule). Most of my clients are understanding and sympathetic and know that in a pinch I’ll still be able to get everything they ask for finished - how is a mystery

Even with the increased loading provided by Hera’s new line of employment I’ve been managing to squeeze in quite a lot of psi. And to top it all off, because the Dream Course is still running I was able to skip last night and got a good sleep in with one very good dream. Apollo (my younger son) has been really pouring on the telepathy as of late in wanting to communicate ideas without having to voice them. This is quite the contrast from his brother who would much rather verbally communicate an idea before telepathy. Mind you Hercules (the older one) is far more empathic than his brother.

My “trip” for May is completely firmed up and I will be away for an eight day stretch over May TwoFour (ask a Canadian) as I will be a couple thousand kilometers from Olympus. I’ll fill in more details as the time for my absence approaches.
