Hide and seek,...

So, there's never been the question in our mind, that when I am working, my brother's aren't allowed to come up, because we need to focus on what we are doing and having either of them around would be detrimental to productivity.

Frost abors Physical Labor of any kind and thinks we should have everything done for us, (He's still adjusting to this century and the fact that we don't live in Northeastern Romainia, and that we're not Royalty.) And well Jake, I'm not sure that he could concentrate long enough to get any certain task done,. That and the Motor-skills of our body are wierd for him. (walking, and such don't seem to be to bad, however I don't think he quite understands that we have hands instead of wings.)

So I guess my point and or question is, Has anyone had an extended period of time where the Other's in the house or system doesn't show up for a while,.?

I run my own buisness, and we were gone all weekend at an event, and my Brothers were no where to be found the whole time, and there were some times where I could have used them.

So that's just what I'm wondering,.

I've had people go quiet for long periods of time, but I've never had all of them disappear at once.

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

They didn't really dissappear, I guess they just stayed in the house and just kept quiet for the weekend, which I was thankful for, but at the same time,.

I miss my Brothers, they (to me) are the constant and the solid and the base of reassurance for many things,.

That and I think the stress level of my work had something to do with it.

I can understand if niether of them wanted to be around it,.

For me too, my others support me a lot. They keep me sane, really.

Have your brothers started talking to you yet, or are they still quiet?

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

Yeah they came out the Mon. after the event weekend,. We went to the park after I had posted this in the first place.

I guess I should have stated that to Other Ppl.

Anyways, It's been busy here and last night was just the Happening time. Everyone came up and everyone was active. And talking,.

It was a little crazy, but enjoyable at the same time.

I'm glad to hear that.

we have people go away for days at a time but we generally know when they'll be back. but no we don't have everyone go away all at once. sometimes the front person will block us all and it will seem to the front person that we all went away, and we can't get to the front person, but when that happens we are all trying to get to the front person because it means the front person has gotten to some kind of point where they can no longer cope with anything and they NEED us to help them. and just at the most critical of moments, this block forms. usually for us breaking this block involves physically hitting it so that it shatters. but usually it has to be done from the front. so we have people freaking out up front who cause this block to go up, and we can't get to them, but we have to get to them, and they have to break the block, but they're freaking out, and it becomes that they are freaking out because we can't get to them ... see the cycle here? we hate it when that happens.

Wow!

that sounds intense, is stress a contributing factor to this "Blockage?" because I did have alot of angst/stress this past weekend.

although buisness wise it was a good event,.

anyways,............I think that might be a factor

Re: hrm

[reinahada.livejournal.com]

yes stress is a factor. the block goes up when the people front have gotten to the point where they can no longer cope. they can't break the barrier because they are too far gone. usually it has been that our roommate Lisa will ask the front person what is going on and if the person can reach us inside. if the answer is no, Lisa will tell the front person to shatter the barrier. the one time it happened when Lisa wasn't available, several of us were able to get together and use enough energy to whisper to the person front, somehow (we are not really sure how we did it) getting around the barrier, for the front person to break the damn thing. when that barrier goes up, it scares us as much as it scares whoever is front when it happens.

Sure, happens to us all the time. A lot of people in here go through cycles of being distant from the front. Usually they just need time to recharge their batteries, emotionally speaking, or they need to take care of something in their world.

Even if it weren't common, though, it doesn't mean there's anything wrong or bad about you doing it.

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

O.K.

That makes sense,

I think the part that bugs me the most, (Thanx to the OCD I've got going on) is that I don't know where my brothers go, and part of me really, really, would like to know,.

but I guess we all need our quiet time, every now and then

thanx for the support,

I have done the sole-frontrunner, lost-connection-with-the-others thing quite often. Mostly I just wing it. A lot of times it's just a communication glitch -- something goes haywire and Laura-Earth transmissions go fft.

Sometime I'll post about what happened Xmas 1999 when I took my first vacation from the front in decades and they had to pry me off my seat with a crowbar (not literally ok) and everybody was taking care of business elsewhere on the planet and Andy ended up running the whole show for several days and had to pretend to be me at a company banquet and other interesting places.

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

*chuckles* That had to be amusing to say the least,.

It's all good though, we all went for a walk yesterday adn everyone in the house had a good time,.

We weren't at the park for more than 5 min. and Jake was up and out like a cat that desperately needed to go to the bathroom,........Frost actually came up and walked and talked, He's always been rather reclusive, and would only Vocalize to me when no one else was around, so this whole talking to Other Ppl is a really good thing in my opinion,

He told Jessie that since I had made the rule of "No Fronting while working" that he and my brother just simply obayed it.

Simple enough explination, I guess, I just wonder where they go, and what they do when theey're not in the driver seat.

Oh well, C'est La Vie,.......................It's nice to know that they are always there no matter what happens.

Yes... we regularly have people off doing their own thing for however-long.. *laughs* We're used to it.

I think a lot of it is because our "inner space" isn't just our mindscape, but our astral space. So we have a lot of people who just live in the village and do their daily thing without ever coming down to the body.

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

That sounds Kewl, in a very dissassociative way

I don't think I spelled that right,

anyways,

It's starting to become clear with what everyone's saying, I'm glad that Ppl are tolerant to my very Naive questions,

My brothers have only just now become more active and other worldly, we have lived together for some time but it wasn't untill about 2 years ago now that they started to come up and take the Helm.

so this is all new to me,.

Thanx to you and for everyone's Patients,................~M~

[egyptian-spider.livejournal.com]

*smiles* We just started being aware of the others about a year and a half ago, but we've had good guides and have been able to get a lot done, as far as learning and understanding goes....

"So I guess my point and or question is, Has anyone had an extended period of time where the Other's in the house or system doesn't show up for a while,.?"

Yep, all the time. We have a large system, so I just think it would be very hectic if everyone was always very active and up front. The main frontrunners are usually always around, but often those who don't front as much wander and find their own things to do in the back areas of the system and the rest of Us don't always regularly see them.

We've also had some main frontrunners take leaves of absense. Have several that are taking a break right now even. One of Us, Rhydan, has disappeared for six months at a time and more, although these days she doesn't do that really or go away for so long. Our former host is on hiatus and has been gone for awhile now. People always come back though eventually, so We try not to worry about absenses too much.

We've also had times where whoever is fronting gets stuck up front and looses contact with the rest of the system. So they think that the rest of Us have disappeared but We're really still there (and can usually still see and hear them, just not the other way around).

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

Yeah,

I think I'm begining to understand what this arrangment is all about.

we used to be 2 and now we are 3 and so figuring everything out is an intresting puzzel.

Thanx,

~M~

[jhonathand.livejournal.com]

Wow,

That sounds complicated,.

It was just odd having them leave though. just this last weekend they pulled the same dissappearing act, but they were still there.

I guess they just hung out in the house all weekend and thought that I was working again,. which wasn't the case, but Oh well/

They didn't complain of being un-comfortable, or about the lack of time in the Driver's seat. So I guess all is well.

Thanx for the info,

~M~
