Admit it -- there are times when you read the news and think, "wow -- is it REALLY POSSIBLE people are truly just that stupid?"
We could list thousands of examples to support that. Of course, others might say the same about me, too, I guess. After all, I talk about seeing places thousands of miles away with just "my mind", reincarnation . . . and not just that, my version of reincarnation includes time folds and concurrent lives and a whole host of whackadoodle notions that would make the average white conservative Christian start looking for a match and a pile of twigs . . .
Add crop circles as messages from another world, the literal power of magick (with a k) and a specific past life as a Confederate General, Major General William Dorsey Pender . . . well, OK, you got me. I "stretch" your powers of tolerance.
However, I have been on a political tirade again and this morning I want to talk a bit about "the merger" of spirituality and greed.
There is a famous passage in The Bible that goes like this: "And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God" -- Matthew 19:24
But to listen to most "preachers" talk -- who take everything in the Bible, every parable, in the most literal sense . . . it seems to me that this particular passage seems to have slipped through the cracks.
Hypocrites !!
Yep . . . hypocrites.
But the "New Age" is not much better and, towards that end, I want to re-post a note I wrote back in early April. 'cause it says pretty clearly how I feel about it. Nothing wrong with having money and nice things . . . but, at what cost :(
I am, myself, in a bit of a moral and ethical crisis, wrestling with these same questions. The IT (Information Technology) market, as I "predicted", is finally "coming back" and once it does, my "market value" will suddenly rise from next to zero to a whole lot, pretty much overnight.
Not only that, my corporate "past life" includes skill sets that would allow me to circumvent most of the checks and balances that keep people from working in Canada because I have a skill so in demand that it would actually allow me to live and work in Canada RIGHT NOW . . . where there is a pretty girl who has stolen my heart (and I don't see her giving it back).
I don't care about the money -- not too much anyway . . . and I wouldn't go back to that "life" ONLY for the money --I played that game once and it led to a bad ending, but I DO want to live in Canada and so, the questions . . . they ramble around the cranium.
I can't be the only person in the world who has seen the greed and corruption running wild through the streets and felt paralyzed by the need to step way from the fire and go within. I can't go back . . . not in the same way. I have seen too much; but I am trying, hard, to find a way to split the difference -- to maintain the "proper balance".
Anyway . . . the need to be an ethical cat in a world of bad kitties -- it is a dilemma.
****
It is time to step away from focusing on "prosperity consciousness" -- the mantra of so many "self-help" gurus, of late -- and look, instead, at opening up to divine realizations of who (and what) we are: spiritual beings intimately connected to a greater "whole", immortal beings of light who reincarnate over and over, God-thirsty pilgrims looking for love.
See your connection to this "greater whole" and love will fill you; focus on separation and love will continually evade you.
It really is that simple . . . material things can be taken from you in the blink of an eye, a tsunami or fire or invading army can change your world pretty quickly. Choices based on "current market trends" can reverse in dramatic, life-altering ways . . . but Love and a connection to your spiritual core -- the timeless spark you start, and end, with -- will never waver.
Fill your heart with love, be open to the still small voice within you and no matter how dark the night of your soul's passage, you can still move in to a space of healing and slip within the open arms of forgiveness and, then, begin moving towards golden rays of love that will fill you up rather than leave you, as so many are, yearning for that "next thing" to justify your, too often ego-based, existence.
Love is truly what matters. You can have it. You can.
It's your choice.

Remote Viewing and Non-Locality of Consciousness
(Originally Posted May 27, 2011)
I had a wonderful time the other evening on Melissa Frei's radio show "Voices From The Other Side" and we talked a bit about "remote viewing" . . . which is, basically, the visualization of places that are "someplace else".
Remote viewing is one of my claims to fame, I guess you could say -- and it is a magical experience when it happens. Seeing other places, either via the "astral plane" or some other mechanism is, to say the least, kind of a "trip" and in this note I want to talk a little about my theories as to how / why this "happens".
The basic mechanism for this revolves around the concept of non-locality of consciousness -- in essence, the ability to tap in to some quantum grid or hologram where information is "encoded" . . . based on one's "resonance", a person is able to tap in to this information grid and merge consciousness in such a way that the "viewer" can, literally, see "at a distance". It is really just like being there, too -- for me, I am always looking down and to my left, much like a bird might look down at the ground or a person in a small plane might see the landscape below.
Also: When I talk about people being on "the same wave length", I mean that in the most literal sense. It is this ability to tap in to the harmonic "wave pattern" of the place that allows an individual to "remote view" . . . sometimes you can "tune in" -- like tuning the radio dials looking for a particular station -- by holding an object or using specific geographical coordinants but for me it is easiest by tuning in to an individual . . . sort of like reading their minds -- or better yet, "sharing" their minds.
The information, for me anyway, has to be consciously "held" by another individual for me to "go there". This is why, I believe, it is so difficult for me to find lost objects when I can go in to great detail on things like site analysis, for example, or describe houses and neighborhoods in such specific details.
The "thought/memory" exists "somewhere" and just like you might scan the phone book looking for your cousin's number, I can scan the collective memory banks to locate the place / object in question. However, when an object is "lost", many times there is "no memory to scan" and when I was younger I realized that I was VERY GOOD at describing where people had already looked and not so good at finding what they we looking for.
Another thing to consider with this involves OBE's -- Out of Body Experiences. When you are really locked in as a remote viewer, you are definitely (in the classical sense) "Out of Body" . . . but really, what does this mean?
If your consious vision is simply "seeing" a place then, to me, there is no OBE -- but on those occasions when you feel and see in specific detail, just like you are walking down the street, when you can, literally, turn left or right and go where you want, at that point you are, for sure, Out of Body, as your consciousness (from the standpoint of physical sensations) is more grounded in the place viewed than the physical space you occupied before "viewing".
There have been studies suggesting that not only energy, but also an object's history, is stored at a quantum level. I think it is this residual history that one taps in to as a remote viewer -- and also when one views "past life information", as well. By merging with the quantum field, in some sense analagous to David Bohm's theory of Implicate Order, one is able to merge with this coded material.
If this is so, then I believe this merger is done "outside the body" and, if true, that suggests that consciousness is not location specific -- in other words, we don't think "only with the brain" but somehow, instead, our "consciousness" merges with a grander, more divine "source" . . . it is this quantum memory that, in my opinion, "reincarnates", as well, and by "merging with the holographic energy source", one can slice and dice the memory banks for information . . . ie, psychic insights.
In my next installment, I will talk in more detail about "how" one can best get in to the proper "space" in order to allow this merger to take place . . .
Anyway . . . a brief exploration of the nuts and bolts of remote viewing and "cosmic consciousness" :)

Speed Kills

I have taken sort of a "back seat" in making public predictions over the past 3-4 months; I'm in love, in Canada and not really in the mood so much to see earthquakes and floods and mass killings all in the name of corporate profits . . . but there are times when the pedal and the metal collide and, much as I want to stay in my "happy space", I feel this month is a "transition" time, and I expect the world to tilt sideways quite a bit in the next 3 weeks.
There are times of crisis when the world "bumps" . . . things speed up; people die, the world changes.
I believe the rest of this month is one of those times. Even with all the madness of 2011 so far, I think it will get nuttier still and WAY more violent before month's end.
There are times when the world "speeds up" -- the next 20 days are going to be one of those times. A dangerous time, it would not surprise me to see someone very big in the political world either pass away or face a major crisis before the end of May.
I still hold to my "prediction" of major, POSITIVE changes starting around late August of this year. But the winds are blowing very hot right now. Tempers are steaming.
It will get ugly . . . soon :(

Not Quite Mother's Day

I just read a post from my dear friend Katie Marie Kat about the pain she feels today, thinking about the child she lost back when she was only a teen-ager. I, too, as many of you know, lost a child a few years back when my daughter Lehna was stillborn in March, 2006.
But many years earlier, I lost two other children -- both due to abortions by my girl friend at the time, a graduate student at Ohio State who felt that she wasn't ready for children and wanted to devote her energy more towards the pursuit of her Ph.D. than caring for a baby . . . the 2nd abortion actually happened only a few months after the first.
I know there are many women today who have lost children, either through miscarriage, abortion, or the death of their child and I know, too, that this day may not be a celebration for you. I feel some of your pain (but, of course, not all) and for those who fall in to this group, or know friends or family who do . . . please believe me when I say I send you my love and best wishes on Mother's Day.
It is your day, too.

In the Merry Month of May

On a day when perhaps a million people across the globe were in the streets protesting, supporting worker's rights -- after months of revolutionary activity in every part of the world -- on that day, miraculously, they make this announcement of bin Laden's death (something that probably happened years back) and then, the prize pig at the biggest county fair of all, they dump his body in to the sea.
I found this on the internet:
"U.S. personnel identified him by facial recognition, the official said, declining to say whether DNA analysis had also been used.
The U.S. team took custody of bin Laden's remains. A U.S. official later said bin Laden had been buried at sea and the remains were handled in accordance with Islamic practice, which calls for speedy burial."
Wow, I, personally, might have taken at least one or two post-mortem photos. I guess crime scene photograhers just don't work on Sundays in Islamabad. Good taste didn't stop them from posting pictures of Hussein. So, why not now?
And then, of course, there is this rather interesting "fact" -- U.S. personnel identified him by facial recognition.
It's kinda curious there is no "evidence". But every thing about 9/11 has been crystal clear so far, so I guess there's no reason why we should have any doubts as to the "truth" now. Right?
This is a time of the most naked aggression . . . the bait and swtich is truly working hard. Schools being dismantled; civil rights legislation being amended to death and children, innocents born in luxury but too soon tossed in to the stormiest of seas, ready to have their minds and hearts poked and prodded in hopes they will carry forward the conservative torch . . . forget the ways it "used to be".
A dark time and then this myth, played out with all this pomp and circumstance. The Royal Wedding and now, bin Laden's capture and death.
Coincidence? Perhaps.
But after years of the most outlandish lies, on this most interesting date: May 1 -- and with protesters out, en masse, across the world . . . on this day, they make "the announcement".
Seriously . . . at least TRY to make it believable.

Captain Jack (and I'm not talking Johnny Depp) is one of our "new friends" here on Vancouver Island. I wrote these down as I heard them spoken . . . there is wisdom here, somewhere :)
For sure, I will remember the sage advice about pigs and square boxes for many a day.

The Bible says psychics are EVIL. Is that TRUE?
(Originally posted April 24, 2011)
Just got a lovely email, asking me about a question that all of us in this "profession" have probably dealt with: "am I EVIL because I see things" ??
One thing I never had to deal with as a business analyst were questions as to whether my skill came directly from the DEVIL !!
But as a psychic, it comes up a lot and dealing with this question was something of a "rite of passage" for myself, too, when I was young (as I assume it was for many others).
In fact, I would be inclined to say that 35 years ago it was even worse for us than it is now. I remember watching a film on TV back in the mid-seventies (probably 1976 or 1977) called "The Reincarnation of Peter Proud" and even the idea of reincarnation was something NO ONE talked about. Ever. I wanted to know why these things were happening to me but there were very few outlets to learn. No internet, very few psychics.
There is still always the possibility that some right-wing Christian will legislate my career out of existence, too.
