Default DDOS attack

If you noticed that the web server was offline last night (blog and forums), that's because it was under a DDOS attack. My web host caught it and dealt with it, so I didn't have to do anything to fix it. They say everything is fine now.

Subjectively speaking, I manifested this because part of me is having a tough time dealing with the implications of this experiment, so it's not sure if I should proceed. Hence it tried to knock the whole thing offline.

I think maybe I was trying to push a bit too far beyond my comfort zone, so I was losing the flow of inspiration. I'll try to slow down a bit and stay with the flow instead of trying to race ahead (in typical Aries fashion) and getting *****-slapped by my own projections.

Or perhaps your inspiration was so wild and overflowing that your servers just couldn't handle it.

Maybe you weren't getting *****-slapped. Maybe you were just getting so inundated with inspiration that your internal servers couldn't process it.

Perhaps your inspiration will lead you to upgrade your internal servers to handle the load more smoothly.

Another aspect could be you still believe that things could break down so they do until you realize they are all illusions, then they stop breaking down. Instead of not being sure you're on the right path maybe this is a way for your higher self to bring something up (fear of things breaking down) that stands in your way deliberately in order for you to move beyond it for good.

Kind of like "oh you think this is all your creation? How about if I mess with your site? How about now?" But you might read that thinking it's spoken in a taunting voice. Maybe it's a helpful, guiding voice.

Which might be pretty much the same thing you said. Just a different take on it. I only say this because I've had things go wrong and break down in bizarre fashion and sequence the last couple months, right as I was diving more into SR.

That or it's the inevitable conflict between ego and higher self causing friction and metaphorical earthquakes from being pulled in two different directions.

It's just a DDoS, and the ISP just filled it as fast as it happened. I wouldn't worry that much. Though if you are not feeling well with the experiment, it may be for a different (good) unrelated reason.

Something that I've been wondering about...

Do you listen only to "active" inspiration ideas, or do you also listen to the inspiration ideas that tell you to lie back and do nothing?

Because I believe that our subconscious/higher self whatever you believe is feeding you inspiration will also feed you inspiration to relax and meditate at the right time.

But if you won't listen to that, and keep searching for "active inspiration" it will *****-slap you, and MAKE you take it easy...

It's much easier to just get along with it, instead of trying to fight it...

Yeah, I dunno if I can handle Steve's load all by myself! Perhaps we should upgrade and get some extra assistance...

Some visitors say they can't get through yet, apparently because their IP addresses are still being blocked.

Roxyruby is one of them. Apparently she visits the site so much that my web host thought she was one of the attackers.

I'm working on getting that sorted out with them. Not sure how long it will take.

Lmao! That could make modding difficult.

I guess I wasn't online during the downtime. I haven't seen any downtime for months now, actually. Sometimes it does get a little slow-to-load. It will take several minutes to load one page; and that slow state will last for 10 or 20 minutes.

Speaking of subjective reality, some time back I was talking about how when you shift your perspective, it's possible to not even see a ***** occurring in your reality.

It looks like that non-occurrence is a new development in the forums!

(It used to go through without being asterisked out. )

I created it. I needed the day off the forums to do some work that I might have put off to visit here.
