Winnipeg City Transit/Rapid Transit

[Winnipegger]

I can easily see it taking an hour to get from downtown to the U of M. It honestly takes ten minutes to get from Silverstone off of Dalhousie to the Terminal at the University when the 62 needs to stop every fifty feet to pick up the massive loads of students in the middle of February. To say that it takes an hour from downtown is a very probable situation.

Spocket (Bill Menzies?), there are two types of souls. Those who are in Service to Self, and those that are in Service to Others.

You're in Service to Self (meaning selfish), and Service to Others always trumps Service to Self.

Love wins everytime.

We are not saying to build a "subway in Dauphin". We are saying that Winnipeg is currently building an LRT with several underground (south of Jubilee this is a MUST, and north of Union Station), above-ground (Stradbrook area), and at-grade sections (CN Fort Rouge Yards) - where it is most beneficial to do such at various stretches of the route.

A few weeks back I was visiting a friend, who lives near the Mint. It was a Saturday night, and I had to catch the DART bus and transfer at Southdale Centre to catch a 16.

It took me 1 hour to get back Downtown.

And 10 cycling bikes....

On one rail car.

Again, the BRT/cycling crowd will not interfere, nor will they block in any way the advancement of the LRT project in Winnipeg. They will have their cycling path, but it will not interfere with LRT R-O-W.

And yes, there will be sufficient funds headed our way to pay for underground LRT between Jubilee and Bison/Pembina.

It seems as though you have some inside knowledge on the goings on with rapid transit. Do you know if they intend to continue on building Phase 1 currently under construction as BRT, or are they building it to cater to LRT? Does this also mean that our socialist provincial government has now accepted LRT as the preferred method of mass transit in Winnipeg?

No, just using Law of Attraction to create reality.

A few weeks ago, both the Provincial & Federal levels of gov't have said that Winnipeg can do whatever it wants with transit funding. They are no longer dictating to us BRT or LRT. That is because I did some meditating that that would change. And so it did.

I don't have the newspaper article to cite, but it must be in this thread somewhere.

Just re-posting my reply. I accidentally deleted it, when editing.

Re: meditating to create reality.

Back in 2004 after Marion Motors had closed I had this thought that, hey, wouldn't it be nice if there was a new bar, and it was to be called Confusion Corner Bar. And it would have red neon outside.

I now know that was not my idea, but I somehow received, through the ether, the owner's thought to set that same bar that is there now.

Also, last week I had this thought while walking past streetcar 596 that LRT project should continue and project 356 should be secondary. On the weekend I read in the Freep that funding to fix 356 is still "years away". So I was probably picking up on someone's thought about that particular issue.

Our thoughts do travel past our body/mind - group consciousness.

Instead of asking whether they have or not, set the intention, wish it to be true (see all that relates to it as happening) that the City is currently building LRT now, not 30 or 40 years from now, but NOW.

By 2014/15 we should have something useful to ride -the LRT will be opened and the construction of it will be reasonably within budget.
See yourself waiting for your LRT on the platform along with others, see the LRT approach the platform with its bright headlights. Hear the people around the platform talking, texting, maybe the PA with an announcement for passengers. See you and others board the train and the doors closing after everyone's on, and the train accelerating and moving to out of the station, with advertisements on the walls as you pass thru.

Visualization is a VERY powerful tool.

I suggest listening to Sylvia Browne, Barbara Marciniak, Ramtha (via JZ Knight), David Icke, and Cyndi Dale for more on creating your reality in your life. We are all co-creators.

Uh huh....so you have no idea then.

[Archiseek]

ahem David Icke? Former UK snooker commentator - and then self declared son of god? who would only were turquoise for a time. I'd rather read Sam Katz's Diary.

Years ago (1991) when Icke said that, he was laughed at for making the claim he was a "son of (a) god".

Now, with a refined message, his talks sell out 6 months in advance.

Who is laughing now?

I wasn't aware of him until late 2008, after Obama got elected somehow.

[RTD]

I'm sorry, are we talking about rapid/mass transit or telepathy?

[LilZebra]

Somewhere about 18 months ago I realized you need to do both - take initiative in the physical realm (pamphlet, website), and also at the spiritual level thru meditation.

So far we are moving towards LRT and so it my dual efforts having its desired of moving towards the goal.

Now I know what everyone was talking about when they said Jimj was weird. I feel like I have enhanced my reality through learning. Thank you.

[LilZebra]

What do you mean weird?

I am just more perceptive and read more of my surrounding environment than most others.

But that just means that I _allow_ myself to use my inborn psychic tools. We all have the tools/gifts, but some choose not to use them and block them with drugs and alcohol.

That's

What do you mean weird? I am just practicing Buddhist meditation. Are you then calling all Buddhists "weird"?

That's one reason our world is in such a mess. We think that we are bodies with souls, but we are really souls in a body.

Can you meditate and visualize that i win the lotto max, seriously could use 30 mil!

[Biff]

Am i the only one that is wondering WTF is going on here. Is jimj speaking english and i am just not understanding, or do i have to be smoking something?

I am reading all of your posts jimj with a puzzled look on my face and i usually think i am a pretty intelligent guy. I though AJ was the difficult one to understand around these parts.

[The Jabroni]

I think jimj is one of the more "spiritual" beings posting here on SSP.

Just reading his posts makes me feel... relaxed... in a good way.
