Rogier:
Re: Gunung, Padang in Indonesia you recently said the following:
It was the site of initiation, mystery school, and temple for the Original Ones. Their residence was in Pohnpei (Nan Madol).✶
And you are asked:
There was a devastating earthquake in Cianjur, Indonesia – the epicentre of which (quite shallow at 10 km, hence the level of destruction) is only about 50 km from Gunung Padang, which you highlighted about as being a former site of Original One's mystery school and temple. Was the earthquake in any way connected to our former presence there?
The Seer:
The earthquake is connected to the cosmic principle that has just become pertinent, with the following question:
I have embraced the truth as much as I possibly could, that aging is caused by resistance to life. Yet I'm showing signs of aging. What am I overlooking? You have said that incorruptibility is the birthright of those who practice living their divinity?
Although accepting whatever life brings our way in full trust and surrender, is an obvious way of not resisting the flow of awareness that life unfolds through us, day by day, there are some more refined principles involved as well.
The purpose of experience is to learn about the self. But once we learn, we need to let go of the memory of the experience. Whether good or bad, whether easy or hard — all experience leaves a footprint on the fabric of existence.† The initiations that took place at this site left a huge footprint. If a footprint (a planetary memory) lingers beyond its time of teaching its lessons, it starts to deteriorate and distort.
In the individual, the memories of past experiences held onto, causes distortion — aging. On the Earth, big footprints (memories left from great spiritual experiences, battles or other things) need to be cleansed or they become distorted as well. Earthquakes and floods and fires cleanse such footprints. That is what happened with the large earthquake you are referring to.

I'm not sure why my comment was deleted. But I asked about aging and immortality. My question to Almine was what really perpetuates the aging of the body for an immortal being? Is it that they are still holding on to memories. This is what it sounds like. if it is how do we let go fully. I don't have a problem aging but I feel it is just unnecessary and see it as a fun responsibility to work to transcend it as humanity has been its slave for thousands of years
My apologies, you had posted it twice, and so I deleted one, but I see now that the one I left was a reply to the original (and therefore also vanished). I'll see if can restore it.
I think this topic of aging is interesting. Can you ask Almine to talk more about this. I had the same questions as I began to see Almine age I wondered if we would have the same destiny. My life is dedicated to living incorruptible. I am currently 30 and don't believe I will age because of my highly spiritualized life and immort future, but to watch our great teacher age I am curious as to how we really transcend this illusion that the body needs to deteriorate. Also how does play a role In Immortality for a being who has reached to Almines Heigts. I would like to know as I know this is our destiny. Much love for these posts

I've wondered if Almine has the ability to 'mask' it. Staying your 35 year old physique for 35-40 years is bound to raise some questions in society. And who knows what Almines plans are for the future. In the farther past she spoke about ways to contribute in a different form (dimension), which sounded as if she wasn't necessarily planning to stay in the physical.
P.S. Nice to see a 'younger' member on here. I just turned 35 myself. 🙂
Interesting. I was on a path of letting go of the past, considering discarding photographs that I own, when on the Diary there was a recent post that mentioned memories, "Happy memories are like money in the bank: they're there to draw on when you need to love life" and I started to rethink discarding past memories.. that perhaps there was a beneficial use for the happy memories.
I am wondering if some insight could be provided on how to balance drawing upon happy memories while also cleansing and letting them go? I am a little confused. Thank you.
I found this other recent entry https://www.alminediary.com/another-perspective-to-cultivate/ that talks about only holding onto the positive aspects of past memories.. so is that the way to release the memories, is to find the gift in them and only think of the gift and not the troublesome parts if we reflect?
The post here mentions needing to cleanse "memories left from great spiritual experiences" which seems like they would only have the gifts left to think about.
I can't speak for how Almine would answer this, but I can speak from personal experience and perspective.
First off all there needs to be a distinction between 'wiping a memory' and 'letting go'. Wiping a memory has the intonation of denying its pedagogical value. Letting go on the other hand feels more like surrendering that which has served its purpose.
The bigger question is why one would hold on to a memory. For most humans the answer is because memories emphasize and confirm personal value. Emphasizes the personal image people have of themselves. A collection of personal trophies and defeats. Even trauma is a powerful identity holder.
Identity of course, is just an illusion. A mirage we make up ourselves.
Then there's the fact that our adventure is happening right now. The present moment. Most times when anyone recalls a memory it is colored, either by preconception or personal preference. It's like a picture of a past event in which we chose the colors ourselves. Most arguments I've heard from people trying to hold on is either to re-affirm themselves, or to use it as a replacement for living the present.
I realize i'm threading on needles here with this next statement, but when one needs memories to feel loved in the moment… or even self-love, it just means there's a higher perspective we are overlooking. Personally I'm not even comfortable using memories as a crutch. Crutches, like any material objects, never last.
If you need a more Almine-like answer, I'm sure more here can refer you to further material she's released over the years. 🙂
Also I've learned through practice that letting go of anything simply happens by intention. If your intent to let go is stronger than your intent or reason to hold on, it will just evaporate.
I've never experimented with doing that as a form of denial however; for all the obvious reasons.
Thank you, Bas. This is giving me another perspective to consider.. treating memories with the concept of non-attachment. I am reminded of times that I have traveled to revisit a place where a major event had unfolded in my life with the intent of lessening its imprint. Which is funny because maybe the intent of revisiting that place was enough to give it power again.
I appreciate your thoughtful reply.
Almine Thankyou for sharing this deep insight.
Always and forever grateful 💖
Oh my goodness. This is such an important lesson for us to learn and embody. Gratitude for this beautiful explanation.
Why hold on to memories in the first place…?
Oh WOW… THANK YOU… This message is so pertinent for me.
