Project XIII for Windows 8 Phone is Released and Now in Microsoft App Stores for Download

I just finished speaking to Caleb Skinner, the force behind Project XIII. We have some good news! The Windows 8 Phone app is now in the windows app store!  The iPhone app will follow on in week or so.  The Windows phone app will only work on Windows 8 phones, not the prior version of windows phones.  Caleb said their policy will be to always support the latest version of phones plus the previous generation. 

The iPhone app is complete but Caleb is moving some of the buttons around so that the user interface is more friendly to the phone owner.  

The app is free to download, and comes with a 60 day free subscription.  After 60 days the subscription price is the very reasonable price of $1/month.    The subscription pays for the server that syncs your friends updates from the prior 3 days to your phone.  Project XIII is unique in that its entire design is to keep your data private and owned by you.  Project XIII will only store friends updates for 3 days, so its up to you to sync with your friends, after 3 days their updates go away from the server.  The sync data is stored on the server in AES 256 encrypted form, and is not retained longer than 3 days.

Windows desktop and Mac Desktop apps will follow soon after the iPhone release.  

Below are some screenshots from the Windows 8 Phone app that Caleb has provided:

July 7th Update: Getting it all Perfect

Good morning (or good night as the case may be!) to everyone!!

My Skype is flooded, and now not updating again.  My email account is overflowing- I'm almost a week behind again, sorry folks- have patience, I'm trying to wade through them all!  To try and make things marginally easier for me, I'm posting this update here to try and answer as many questions as possible, and perhaps even C&P some of my skype conversations as well.

First off, the biggest question everyone is asking over and over:

"Are the documents/templates done yet!!???"

Right off the top I want to apologize to everyone for my own actions.  I pushed Heather to put a "date" on the launch of the docs/templates.  I really pushed her to have them ready for Monday's show, then Tuesdays show... and I KNEW better than to set a solid date even when I was pushing for one.  That is my fault and I take full responsibility for setting a public deadline that has passed and gotten a whole lot of people upset and angry.  On the TCI show  this past Tuesday I spoke about the documents and said that they are close to being finished- and at THAT point they were.  My biggest mistake was assuming that it was a static situation and not mutable- and again, I know better than that- so again, I'll step up and take full responsibility for making misleading statements without thinking of the repercussions to the people listening, who are NOT here and aware of all that is going on.

When I spoke on the TCI show, the documents, as they stood at that moment, WERE almost done.  As I said on the show that night, we were also experiencing some serious energetic issues..... and believe me when I say that I was downplaying the situation.  We had a lot of energetic help from several people and groups and the one big issue was resolved (I will talk about that in a bit), and when it did resolve, the energetics changed and allowed transparency and data to come out in a way that was loud & clear.  New data and transparency means that the documents had to change to reflect that new data.

I want to explain something to everyone about this.  These documents have to be PERFECT.  Do you completely understand that?  There can be no fact, no data, no piece missing from these documents.  If a single piece of data is missing, or a facet of the situation is over looked, then the documents will not work.  Get it?  I don't mean to be pissy, but I'm a little bit frustrated at the people out there screaming for the documents without actually understanding what is involved, nor the vastness of project that Heather is pulling together.  I accept my responsibility in building up a "deadline" that was made public, but I DO ask that people take a moment to think.

....if this was the government putting this magnitude of a project together, it would take  15 years, 12 different committees and probably 5 trillion dollars to do.

....... we are one group of people, we have families that need us, we have no budget, no nannies, no house keepers, no drivers, no school teachers, no medics, no referees, no secretaries, no personal assistants.... We have a Heather, with the financial and legal know-how and years of experience within the legal and global financial community, and the ability to pull down the necessary data when it's available and becomes clear.  We have a me, who supports Heather in any way possible, from looking after her kids, doing her dishes occasionally, and who plays straightman to help her pull out the data she needs to write these documents and do her work.  We have spouses who help us with kids and housework.  We have friends like Nicole who also helps us rally the kids. We have the help of the bridge crew (also known as the Ethiopian 11 team, lol), and many many others energetically, who bring us information and help out energetically where ever possible.... but the reality is that we are all supporting Heather to do this work, because she's the only one DOing it.

............ Mama D's straight talk:  not to be too bitchy, but if you think you can write these documents faster, have at it.

Heather spent about 10 hours yesterday, out of the house, solidly working on the documents.  I just spoke with her about 30 minutes ago and she said she's very very please with what she accomplished yesterday, and that they just need some final refining.  I will add that as of 30 minutes ago, they just need some refining.... 10 minutes from now another factor might be made transparent and have to be entered into the documents.  Regardless, they are in the works and will be released the very moment that they are fully and completely ready to go out.  Then Heather (and I) will use them ourselves to make transparent how they work.

Project XIII-  The I UV INchange doesn't NOT require Project XIII to be up and running to access their Value.  Caleb is currently working out a few small bugs in the system before launching.  Again we have a situation where people pushed Caleb into giving deadlines- deadlines that didn't' take into consideration issues with Microsoft and the iStore, and the bugs that were discovered in the programming.  And again, like the Documents that Heather is working on, Project XIII needs to be PERFECT when it's launched.  It is far too important to be put out publicly when there are issues that still need to be resolved.  Caleb and his team are working at top speed to get everything sorted, but there will be no more "deadlines" given!  Caleb will launch his ground breaking work WHEN it's ready, and when it's READY, it will be safe and completely secure.

As I said earlier this week, Heather has (with much help) gain access to her gmail account.  This email account contains over 8000 emails and documents and to be honest is staggering in it's scope and importance- if only to show what was and how much of what you've seen has come to be.  I am currently looking at ways to INSURE that the information gets to the public Without tampering, without pieces conveniently going missing etc...  As soon as I have it worked out, I will let everyone know how it will happen.

NOW... the other thing I wanted to update everyone on is the RV situation.  Two things to start:

 "XXX: THERE WAS A SMALL ISSUE LAST NIGHT…WHERE 3 COUNTRIES CODES WERE NOT RIGHT…"  

*cough cough cough bullshit cough cough cough*

"The trade programs in and of themselves are perfectly legal, and are sanctioned by the SEC. However we believe because of all the delays and stupid excuses, that the BIG bankers are in cahoots with the UST using the RV funds in a way to stuff their pockets with TONS of dough."

....the trade programs are "legal" in the old system of "legal" meaning that you can steal everything between 5:01pm and 8:59am without permission of the account holders .... as long as you don't' get caught- and even then, they're only held accountable IF your lawyer is better than theirs.

I just love that all of a sudden everyone's talking about the night time trading thefts that have been going on for MONTHS.... when I've been telling people this since at least APRIL!!!!! (facepalm) .....

....... no one listens to me :(  .... idiots


Whatever.

I'm going to say this, and there will be a bunch of people who will snort and point fingers and make fun of me and will rant and rave that it's all a crock of shit....

This is my OPINION, but we'll see how accurate it is as everything plays out. There is a very good reason why the "RV" hasn't gone yet:   Heather hasn't released the I UV INchange documents.  I've watched the intel world go completely insane over the past two weeks about the Global Currency Revaluation.  More than any other time that I've witnessed, they have been ramping up the "release" every night since June 25th.  That is a relevant date because on that day certain information was spoken openly on skype to insure that our lovely NSA/Alphabet listeners heard every word and KNEW exactly what the plan was and how it was to play out.  Two days later, with almost no notice, Iraq is suddenly released from Chapter 7 sanctions by the UN, with a unanimous vote.  At that point everyone is told "It's going tonight!!"  and then nothing.  Why?  because on Thursday we released info about the Documents and Templates.  Then on Saturday I wrote that the Docs and templates would be released in time for the radio shows.  Again, the RV was "guaranteed" to happen on Monday.... then Tuesday..... then Wednesday.....

People who've been in the RV game for years will snort and say "that's nothing different than what we've heard before...." except that certain things were put into play during those days that haven't happened before.

My theory is that "they" will try to hide the launch of the I UV Value system with the RV.   Before they were trying to hide the RV from the public as it was way too volatile a situation for the public to "handle", but now.... in comparison to the RV, the I UV Value system is something they DEFINITELY don't want the public to know about! So... they will launch the RV the moment that the I UV Value System is released and hope that they can hide it behind the RV.

We'll just have to watch it play out, won't we?

The one last thing I want to say is that everything is working on an energetic level right now, and those levels are vastly important.

".... This isn't about Politics & Finance any more.  It's about the energetics.  "They" know that.  Hence they attempted to keep us busy and off guard for a few days..."

When they couldn't do anything to physically interfere with our work (which was made very very clear when we were in the desert), they had to ramp up the energetic angst.  It definitely delayed things.... BUT in those delays came clarity and absolute data and transparency, which was necessary to move forward.... so the reality is that for all their meddling with people (mentally, emotionally, and physically), all the crashing glasses, the exploding jars, the blown fuses, the smoking electrical outlets, the watchers maneuvering frequencies at us....The work is still getting done.

A HUGE Thank You to everyone out there that has been helping us with the energetic clearing going on.  The "watcher" has suddenly decided to go on vacation.... teeheehee. Thanx ladies!

I leave you with this picture and note that arrived this morning in my email:

D., I thought this lighthouse might serve as a good visualization of Heather standing firm,

in her efforts to lead the charge in our behalf in repurposing the banks. Go, Heather, go!

You shall prevail, for nothing is stronger than an idea whose time has come!...

June 27 update: TCI Summary and the Will and the Word

Hello you Awesome Beacons of Light!  As listeners might of noticed, I missed this weeks TCI show .... AGAIN!  My excuse is being busy elsewhere/elsewhen and completely loosing track of time.  I've promised Lisa that I WILL be on this coming weeks TCI show for sure!  Below is Gingers summary of this weeks show.

At the moment we have been working non-stop for the past 5 days on some pretty heavy shit. We were so busy that I couldn't do the 3 way interview with Caleb and Heather and I, even though we live(d) just steps apart.  Caleb should be touching down at home right around now.  Once he's gotten his head wrapped around being back in the US (lol), he will be "writing" the I UV page for Project XIII- this will take a few days to complete.  At that point, we will do the interview so that we can do a full run down of everything up to that moment.  UPDATE on Project XIII:  Caleb is still waiting on approval of the apps from the iStore and Microsoft.  IF they delay/continue to delay, Caleb will launch the Desktop version and to hell with them!

In the past 72 hours or so, some very very interesting things have happened. Discoveries and insights made and voiced openly over skype have insure that the NSA (and the rest of the alphabet agencies) got an update as to exactly what's happening...... and they can't stop it, lol.  This started a cacophony,  and Heather suddenly got a slew of communications from all over the place.  Many meant well, but their info was corrupted, and basically immaterial.

.... This isn't about Politics & Finance any more.  It's about the energetics.  "They" know that.  Hence they attempted to keep us busy and off guard for a few days. Rex's party tricks were mildly disturbing months ago when he tried to meddle in our dreams etc.... but now they are literally just a giggle. Sorry Rex. We saw through that one too. ;>)

Rex and a few other "DIVINE" wannabees  tried to interfere in the desert aswell and all that got them was a front row seat to the action with no where to hide and no way to escape. Note to them:  Sorry dudes, we ain't playing that game- nice try, but this time you don't even get party hat to take home with you.  This IS happening and there is NOTHING  you can do about it. You can stomp your feet, tell your lies, try to push and pull people to do what you want to further your agenda, but in the end it doesn't matter for squat.

If you are watching all the various alternative news and "light worker" web sites, you can absolutely SEE the pushing and pulling that "they" are trying to do. People are appearing out of the woodwork, trying to convince everyone that they have the answer.  That this group or that group will save the world.  Here is the problem:  ALL of these groups are trying to work within the corrupt paradigm that exists NOW.  Therein lies the very obvious problem.

You can't change one piece of the system and expect a different result.  You can't keep the basic premise that the system is built upon and expect a different outcome! Hierarchy is Hierarchy regardless of the pretty name it's given.

When we talk about manifestation, everything needs to line up, all in that direction that you've chosen.  You set your intent energetically, you speak the words, and then you DO.  If everything is aligned, then your intent manifests at the speed of heart.  If everything isn't aligned- mentally, emotionally, physically, "spiritually"- then delays occur and that manifestation may take time to appear as it works through the "kinks"....

"And there shall come a great light, and in that light shall that which
was broken be healed, and interrupted Purpose shall proceed again, as
was from the beginning intended."

David Eddings

The Intent has been set.  The words have been spoken...... and now we DO.

The Collective Imagination show – June 25^th(US)/ 26^th(Australia) – Ginger’s Notes & Comments

http://www.blogtalkradio.com/thecollectiveimagination/2013/06/26/the-collective-imagination

This show was a discussion and personal sharing among the hosts, weaving both some ancient traditional spiritual teachings within their recent Moroccan journeys.

While some listeners may have found these timeless teachings nothing new, others are more or less newbies, therefore, “cannot hear these teachings enough!” . . . as the one of callers emphatically expressed.

What I enjoyed about this show was hearing the blending of both the old teachings with the personal sharing of each host’s Moroccan experience . . . that best supported the teachings. And their excitement in their Knowing so deeply what is true for them, is clearly heard in their voices . . . more than ever now.

There were some Blog Talk Radio technical difficulties at the beginning, but it straightened out for the rest of the show. Briefly, the following is a taste of what was discussed and shared . . .

“The Infinite side of you is the heart and no limits . . . and the (OP) plan is not knowing the plan . . . exerting free choice from the heart is the intention . . . and in this manner, you cannot “make a mistake” if centered in your heart’s excitement . . . and even if you perceive “a mistake”, it was an opportunity to re-adjust your compass! . . . and even though the old system has not shifted yet . . . we need to keep our focus inwardly upward within this transition from duality-separation into non-duality-separation reality/story/hologram . . . and it’s so important to recognize that everyone is on different parts of a massive learning curve . . . while simultaneously realizing we are ALL on the same ultimate page towards creating something new and different, based in authentic freedom . . .

. . . notice how kids will play a game together till they are bored . . . and then create a new game . . . (in Monopoly, everyone gets bored with the banker first – lol) . . . so we are the ones starting something new (because we are so bored with this so predictable cabal game now) . . .

. . . but note the difference between making a plan and creating a new intention . . . with ability to let go of what no longer serves you (including attachments) . . . working through the trauma or idea of “loosing everything” . . . humans are only beings who can laugh in face of their agony & pain . . . and allowing in what will better support your life now . . .

. . . what was learned in Morocco within crew, with absolute intimate transparency . . . without judgment . . . among one another (was experiencing what so many of us have longed for) . . . as well as dreaming the same dreams . . . towards free this planet in unity . . . “

Tomorrow will be hosts Judy Jandora & Brian Kelly’s show, called “In-Joy”

Wednesdays (US) / Thursdays (Australia)

4pm PST

D and Caleb and Project XIII

Here is the interview I did with Caleb about Project XIII two days ago- lots of coffee..... caffeine makes the world go round and makes interviews in the morning run oh so much smoother!!

A huge HUGE thanx to Keimpe for spending hours and hours pulling the audio together and struggling through technical issues to get it uploaded to YouTube for us!!!  I owe you Three hugs now guy!

June 13th UPDATE: Coming together, Project XIII, I UV, and all IN-Body-ments

Well my friends, I know I've been seriously delinquent with the updates, but life has conspired to keep me away from the computer.  We've tried to record things here, but then can't get them uploaded to post as we've been so ridiculously busy.  I'm considering trying to do recorded updates, where I just talk it all through..... but then I'd still have to get them uploaded, lol!

On the TCI show Tuesday night, during the second hour, Lisa, Bob, Mark and I talked about our experiences in the Sahara Desert.  Before the show we sat around talking and the over whelming question was "How can we possibly explain all that happened?!"  How do you put into words something so profound that it defies language?

We did our best on the show to give you a glimpse of what we felt and experienced, but it barely scratched the surface really. I suggest listening to the final hour of the archive HERE to get a bit more of a visual picture of our adventures in DOing.

Beyond the actual things we did- both in Tangier and in the Sahara- what we experienced just through our interactions with each other was so incredible and awe inspiring, that it needs to be told- at least from my personal perspective.

Having worked with the "Bridge Crew" for many months so intensely and closely, I fully expected our first meeting, face to face, would be like a reunion of old friends.  What I wasn't really expecting was the profoundly earth moving experience of physically hugging my "friends" for the first time.

The experience was quite literally electrifying.

Hugging Heather for the first time literally made the hair on the back of my neck  stand up and gave me goose bumps- my heart chakra pounded and I felt like the top of my head would blow off.  Looking into Heather's eyes was (and still is) like looking into my own soul.  The first time I spoke to Heather on  Skype it was like talking to a long lost friend- just a continuation of a conversation that started ages ago- but meeting her face to face made me realize that the conversation has been going on for a millennia, since the very beginning of time. Heather is funny as all hell and a mesmerizing story teller- I would love to record the hours and hours of conversations we've had and all of the details of every step of the process to investigate everything and move forward with the OPPT filings..... maybe one day I can get her to sit down and record them, lol- but don't hold your breath!!

Lisa and Bob and Bill and Brian ..... I loved them all- even before I met them face to face- and felt that the connection was stronger than mere "friendship".... but meeting them and hugging them was again an electrifying experience. A meeting of family.

Lisa is literally my other self. Our mannerisms are the same, our past runs in parallel, our tempers are the same (lol), ....Hell, we are the same right down to having the same black painted toe nails and silver toe rings, pierced noses, identical scars on our legs, and our intense love of dark chocolate with chilli peppers, lol!!! I can say anything to her and know that she not only "gets it" but she "gets it" before I've even finished the sentence.

Between all of us, there is a magnetic attraction- it's like out magnetic fields are complete when we are together. There is an intense love that transcends physicality and a "knowing" that is beyond time or lifetimes that surrounds us.

I have never felt more at home than I do at this moment.

Vera and Mark and Sue and Muxi are all part of the mix of magnetic fields that created this incredible family reunion.  I've known Mux for years and years, but even there, there was a new love and life to our reunion that went beyond just mere "friends".

As everyone leaves to return to their previous homes, there has been a heavy sadness that we must separate, but we know it's only for a short moment as we will all be together again very very soon. Plans are being made to continue our work together just as soon as each can get themselves organized and get their asses back here.  This team has a LOT of DOing to DO and as it all comes together..... watch out world!! You have no idea what's about to hit you smack in the back of the head!!! 

Mark gave this brilliant update on Project XIII and I UV yesterday (I think?).  Heather and I are in full steam ahead mode on the I UV and major work is under way.  As soon as the "contracts" are drawn up, and  details are settled, I will record an update with Heather (even if I have to tie her to a chair) to post out to everyone.

I know that many many people are restless and impatient for news and updates and for data.  We are absolutely working on all of these things.  Each part of I UV (for example) relies upon other data and upon other things happening.  As the pieces come forward and the Absolute Data swings into focus, then the next step in the process happens.  A major piece of Absolute Data was made very clear in the past two days, and now we are moving ahead very very quickly.  As soon as that step is made, then we will release the data for everyone.

.... I'm so freakin' excited my heart is pounding!

People who've been waiting for this moment of NOW to move, are being contacted and all the pieces are moving into position.  Some of the chess pieces didn't even realize that they were on the playing board, or that they were playing the same game as all of us.... but they just found out ;>)  They know that it's all done now, and now it's time to play together in one coordinate team movement.  We are all ONE after all...... they just needed a little reminder that we are all on the same team.

....No IN-Body-ment will be left behind, regardless of the roll they played in this vast and amazingly epic experiment.  We promise.  To those IN-Body-ments who are currently holding their heads in their hands in confusion and resignation that, yet again, they've been taken off the path they planned out...... it's time my friends. We all work TOGETHER.  We'd love to discuss the "manual" with you- any time you're ready.

With so much love....
D

PS:  To the IN-Body-ments in Reno sitting there with their goats and wondering why it's not happening....... The reason you're waiting around is about to be answered- You're about to get a major message ;>)  Like I said- it's time for TEAM WORK.  You cant' do it alone and you know that.  So........  are you ready to play?


Note from Mark yesterday:

I'm heading home from Morocco to Australia today.  I am very tired and a little sick, but will give a short update that Caleb sent the Project 13 app to Microsoft yesterday.  Yes, it took longer than expected.  It is new and nothing like it has been done before.  It will make secure communications over the internet possible in a way that could not be conceived of only weeks ago.  It is incredible, if you understand the significance of that.  Even N=S=A will not have access to what you put through it.  It is a beautiful thing.
Project 13 will be free until Caleb gets the payment facility working.  He wants it to go viral and get used.  It will start used on Windows Mobile Phones until the iPhone App launches July 1.  Silverlight version for Mac and PC will be available when he finishes that, which looks to be maybe around first of July as well.  We thought he could launch Windows and iPhone Apps 1June, but that didn't happen, opviously.
http://vexsprotocol.com is Caleb's little declaration of his "Virtual Extension of Selves Protocol" that is what he checks all his work against now.
http://www.projectxiii.com is the Project xiii site where you'll be able to download the Silverlight version when it comes out and where you'll be able to get new accounts.  I don't know exactly when that will be working, sorry.
Everything there is being done in the new I/UV Exchange way of working, including the contract to extablish the project.  I don't have time to explain in detail.  Need to fly out in about 2 hours and have to finish getting packed.
Heather is working on the I / UV Exchange tools so that people have examples of how they can access their value.  They already could if they knew what to do, but now it's time to Impower people with tools.  I'm hoping for a short update from her next week.  Sorry that the show yesterday was so much about the "Crew's" journey and so little about what we can now do.  I feel the hunger for a better life that you/we all have.  A sould searching trip for a small group doesn't quite cut it, but the work that was done on that trip has helped in ways that may never be grasped.  It was important, but I really don't think that just hearing about that was enough.  But that's my point of view (reason for this room).
Tools are being created and they aren't fully formed up, yet.  I wanted to talk about them in the show last night, but I don't fully understand them, yet.  Heather is in the middle of creating them.  I am closely working with her, but she is really stretching me.  This is new ground for me and I will share as I come to understandings.
Must go now, but please know that there is work being done to give all of us access to our value in a way that anyone can do.  It is a beautiful thing.  The details of this are not quite yet understood by those doing the blogtalk shows and so they aren't talking about details.  I'm hopeful that we will get sharing details before the listener base gives up in frustration.  As usable tools are made available it will get very, very exciting.

Heather, the UV Ixchange and Project XIII

From Skype<<<XXXX ‎9‎:‎23‎ ‎PM D, Brian, whoever wants to answer......I have to ask something that has been on my mind. Back at the end of March it was said that "replacements of past harvesting tools begin to be implemented next week" and that was a month ago. Can anyone in the 'know' address this?

HEATHER:  I/UV lawful and legal structure was implemented that next week...BE'ing and DO'ing ARE the I/UV Exchange Absolute Tech....we just amped it up and Caleb made a bridge NOW technology to assist all to see, know and experience what IS that Absolute Tech....Project XIII is launching as the I/UV tools of assistance....it combines and changes the functions formerly provided by harvesting tools such as Facebook, UCC, purported Departments of Licensing, purported banks, etc....all in one and operates transparently and universally, not just globally, internationally or nationally....the biggest recalibration tool of I/UV Ixchange IS that each embodiment is solely responsible for their BE'ing, Value and DO'ing...all that they BE, DO, all their value, etc. is controlled solely by their Self on their IPage, transparently for all to know, engage with, and deliver by free will choice....and, yes, their 10 Billion in gold and silver will be in their UV Ixchange account that will BE accessible through their IPage....an official announcement for the official launch is BE'ing prepared now...all launch May.

[3:14:15 AM] HEATHER: The gold and silver are co-partner/operators with every embodiment that respectfully chooses to co-partner/operate with the gold and silver....those who abuse it will find that the gold silver doesn't stick around very long to play with them.

(heart) and to answer your next question that I can already hear...yes, please repost as you choose to.
