Following the invitation song Teach Your Children Well by Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young we took a moment to breathe deeply together, to review our mission statement and opening intention, reading in unison.
We shared our welcome, mission statement and opening intention at 5:04 PM and reviewed blog and college updates at 5:10 PM. Chris reported that the SOW blog had new additions and new classifications to make finding articles of interest easier. Now classifications include Body, Soul, Spirit, Knowledge and Wisdom, as well as adding new classifications of Ancients, Stories, and Study Series.
He reported that the Ancients classification is for anything to do with ancient peoples; stories for articles that read like a story rather than an article or a report, e.g. Raindrop and Eggs, and Island of the Children; Study Series is for a series of postings in a series, e.g. Masters of the Far East; Word Play; Nature Religions, and a new Ancient Wisdom series. A first installment of Ancient Wisdom titled A Series of Exploration into Ancient Faiths – The Beginning begins with the concepts referenced in the article about the Ainu peoples and builds upon it to describe a probable "earliest faith" concept of ancient humanity. An article about the earliest recorded faith systems will demonstrate how the earliest faiths may have morphed into the earliest recorded faith systems is nearing completion.
At 5:17 PM Jackie let an Experiencing Frequency segment visualizing the color red and feeling its frequency.
At 5:27 PM John began his presentation Is Somebody Watching Me? John opened his presentation with a quote from H. G. Wells' The War of the Worlds:
“No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenth century that this world was being watched keenly and closely by intelligences greater than man's and yet as mortal as his own; that as men busied themselves about their various concerns they were scrutinised and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinise the transient creatures that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.”
He wondered "is someone watching us?" Discussion ensued noting watcher is from Old English Wacian (WAY-cian) indicating "be awake" and their connection to "divine beings who assumed the role of being human." A reference in the book of Enoch notes that the Watchers were "eternally imprisoned in the abyss, a place of darkness and fire", which sounds remarkably like the Titan Myths.
Other discussion topics included the cloud of witness reference in Hebrew 12:1 and Elf on a shelf which originated in the late 60's and 70s.
At 6:01 PM we shared comments and reminders noting a GFLAA Meeting upcoming on Nov 19, 2025 with a 5 pm Planning meeting and a 6 PM Zoom. A DSU Meeting is scheduled for Nov 26, 2025 with a 5 pm Zoom meeting and a 6 PM DSU Planning meeting.
At 6:02 PM we closed with sharing our closing Intention in unison and a Song picked by John: Somebody's Watching Me.
