A couple weeks ago I decided to participate in Eckhart Tolle’s and Oprah’s New Earth classes, which are delivered through webcast streaming over the Internet.

The classes start every Monday night for 10 weeks starting March 3 at 9/8c. Oprah and other people ask Eckhart questions that deal with his most recent book A New Earth - Awakening to your Life’s Purpose.

To participate in this class one is asked to read his latest book. Therefore I ordered at the beginning of February 2008 two of his books, The Power of Now and A New Earth. I found both books very enlightening and in concurrence with my life experiences and shift in consciousness, and the writings in my book.

I also find the class very interesting and it’s a pleasure to see that others feel the same way. I also have questions for Eckhart, therefore I asked him yesterday another question, and I referred to his book pg. 277.
If you feel the stillness or nothingness while standing extremely close to another person and later you notice a commonality, is that a proof of “a deeper connectedness” (see pg. 277; the number 277 is my numerical equivalent; in my book I point out that even Jung believed that the spheres of matter and psyche have a tangible connection through numbers)?

You probably have experienced the same thing. Sometimes we ask a question though we already know subconsiously the answer. Namaste!

Since I mentioned that a wall of isolation and selective network is being built, I like to share some of my own experiences in this matter.

Many years ago while I worked at Microsoft in Redmond I met a person at Microsoft who did some volunteer work through a volunteer organization here in the Seattle area. He gave me a name and phone number from the organization to call so that I could apply for being a volunteer within that organization.

After filling out some paperwork I was assigned a volunteer job at a nursing home on Mercer Island. I actually wanted to do volunteer work in a nursing home because I think that the elderly are forgotten and given a rotten deal because the emphasis is out of control and only on the young and inexperienced. It’s true the children are our future, but without the elderly there wouldn’t be any children. How is it that a whole culture is so unappreciative of the ones who created them?

Coming back to my volunteer work at the nursing home on Mercer Island I like to mention here that after the volunteer organization had assigned me that place, I was pretty much on my own. No contact person from the volunteer organization existed at the nursing home and/or contacted me. Actually, nobody looked after me there. It was almost like I didn’t exist for them. Just like so many elderly people who are forgotten and ignored.

So, a couple of years I volunteered at the nursing home on Mercer Island, but nobody cared for communicating with me except for Alice who was in her nineties and a very lonely fragile legally blind nursing patient.

My next experience of being excluded and/or ignored involves another volunteer organization. I volunteered at the Children’s Hospital in Seattle and there I found out about the Sovren organization. After I had volunteered for a few years at the hospital, I wanted to do something else. Therefore I wanted to join the Sovren organization that also does volunteer work that benefits the Children’s Hospital.

So I contacted the President by phone and he told me on the phone that he had forwarded my request to the secretary. Additionally he said, “You don’t have to do anything.” Afterwards I never heard from anyone.

I don’t want to get into further details without looking at my notes, but something seriously developed over the years, I continuously was purposefully isolated from group activities that I wanted to participate in. And I consider now some of my experiences that were forced on me bullying tactics and unlawful.

I just noticed that none of my pictures, which I had uploaded at the beginning of March to the Panoramio site, are displayed in Google Earth. Therefore I visited the Panoramio forum and searched for posts that deal with the same problem. As a matter of fact I found that others have the same problem, too.

I looked at some pictures, which are not displayed in GE, but can be viewed directly on the Panoramio site. You have to know the user’s ID on Panoramio. So, if none of your pictures are displayed in GE, nobody will ever know that pictures exist from you except the ones who browse the Panoramio site or the few who you directly contacted and told that you posted some of your pictures at the Panoramio site. But as far as I understand it that is not the purpose of the connection from Panoramio to GE.

I have viewed pictures from one person who had uploaded his pictures at the beginning of January. And now in April they still were not linked to GE. In the forum he had posted the question why his pictures haven’t shown up yet in GE. And some of the answers were dubious like the pictures may have not been up to higher standard or “rejected by Google Earth”. But his pictures were incredibly good and others thought so, too.

I start wondering what this is all about. I’ve seen photos that were not as good as mine, and they showed up with the little star sign in GE. Somehow I get the feeling that the Internet due to the anonymity allows other power players to pull their strings in the background quite effectively and build a wall of isolation and selective network.

A couple years ago I’ve seen here in Seattle the sign “Invisible Fence”. It is just another sign for how people protect their interests. Fences always existed. People always erect boundaries through all kinds of means including belonging to a certain class, profession, money elite, or sharing other common interests.
