Fumoir des Anges Annette Neuffer 2022

Who has turned back the clock? - No, not forward, but backward!?
This shift in the direction of time has alarmed the Celestial Council. What is happening with humanity? Are they about to forget everything they have learned on their spiritual development path? Are they so blindly at the mercy of their instincts? The same blind evolution that has given rise to survival competition? Have people forgotten that they possess a spirit? That distinguishes them from the animal kingdom?

This alarming development requires consultation at the highest level. The 'Atman Project' is at risk of failing. The breath of the Supreme, Brahman, breathed into eager souls, the Atmans, who are to be born on Earth to share their experiences in physical transience with the Supreme Spirit, threatens to withdraw from the animated creation.
Therefore, the management of the Atman Project has established a task force. An initial meeting is to analyze the current situation and develop solution strategies.
Location: RumCloud No. 7
Time: when it is ripe, one will know

So far, so good. But wasn’t there an agreement at the beginning of the project? Which severed humanity from the spiritual creation level? A free will was granted, which was supposed to enable people to pursue their own spiritual path. 'There can be no retreat now, this spirit is out of the bottle, the milk is spilled. Now we have to deal with the unpleasant realities,' it is stated from the ranks of the task force.
One fact is that human thinking is not truly free, but derives its content primarily from the oldest instinctual realm: reproductive optimization and self-assertion. These are the spiritually blind eyes of evolution, which have rewarded the most aggressive and invasive behaviors.
Now, however, we also have the freedom to question our 'automatic' thought contents in REFLECTING and put them to the test. Many are already succeeding quite well! Only, others, the most invasive representatives of our species, are coming to power.

The world currently offers some impressive examples. Autocrats and aggressors seize control of world design, refusing to accept any other world order. Megalomania on their side. Often, it is weak, wounded egos, who, out of fear of insignificance or loss of control, keep spiraling higher. These are fears that flee into gigantism. All this with the friendly support of reproductive instincts, which in ancient times ensured that material superiority increased reproductive chances. Valid in a system where there was never enough, as in hunter-gatherer times. That made sense, but only because the material blessings of the successful were distributed to all. This part, however, is often conveniently neglected nowadays.

And the way out? - Let’s remain vigilant. Let’s pay attention and become aware of what is happening. Then everything can turn out well. Because the empathetic and humanistic people are in the majority, even if they are still quite quiet.

Unfortunately, unfortunately, there is no minutes of this task force meeting at RumCloud No. 7. The results will not be communicated to us.
But we possess a tool, our consciousness, that allows us to redirect the flow of time back forward. Towards the progress of our spirit, which is fruitful, community-oriented, and thus sustainable, whenever its efforts extend beyond the interests of individuals.

***************

Now to the scent. It is pure enjoyment and relaxation, as one could only create for meetings in the clouds, symbolically speaking.
A hearty toast with smoky rum to welcome. Bitter orange flanks and emphasizes its aroma, making it shine. Likewise, other citrus notes, whose mild freshness slowly transitions to the finely aromatic Sichuan pepper, whose spiciness is tempered by the slightly bitter angelica. In this olfactory tension field, the senses are now wide awake and can embark on their journey of enjoyment.

With prominent bright tobacco, the HN continues. A fine honey note supports its softness. A mild peace pipe is lit, and one feels the desire to inhale the breath of peace deeply. Enjoyably, the eyes close, and the senses receive a caramel kiss, more aromatic than sweet.
The otherwise stern incense is quite mild and contributes to a contemplative mood with its reverent accord. How fitting! Do we remember? We are in a meeting of heavenly beings searching for a way out for humanity. And in difficult, complex situations, one tends to find useful inspirations more during meditation than during thinking. The latter shows its true value only in the subsequent second step: in sorting and articulating the ideas gained.

The serious incense is accompanied by the floral realm. Rose and iris exude with dignity, and frangipani gives us a twist towards fresh-fruity leniency. They form the modulating overtones of the incense message, which always has something to do with responsibility, but also with connection to the greater whole.

The BN starts with naturally graceful beeswax. This component remains very present in the foreground for a long time, which I consider a point of criticism. Under the wax, the earthy notes do not have it easy to emerge. Perhaps this could be understood as a separating layer between above and below, between angel cloud and earth.
With a delay, therefore, hardly distinguishable individually, enchanting tones of the earthly realm join in. Bittersweet, warm myrrh as a peacemaker, alluring labdanum, soft vanilla notes. 'People want to love and inscribe their love into the earthly realm,' they seem to want to call out to the heavens. Deep earthly fragrances of sandalwood, oud, patchouli, a pinch of cocoa, and sweet resin are also ready.
The BN is very dense, but not heavy, and not dark either. A lot of hope has been built in. Hope and reliability.

(Cautious dosing is advisable with this concentrated fragrance.)

A heartfelt thank you to @Paloma58 for this inspiring testing opportunity.
