Sail away this Summer, North Shore Boston and up Posted: 6/9/2009 7:21:30 PM
Any men out there 40-62 with a sailboat north of Boston???? This is my desire for future, sailing. I've always loved it. Sharing a fun adventure with a partner means everything. I don't do golf.

Your ultimate idea of hell. Posted: 12/7/2008 7:34:41 PM
Hell appears to be ones neuroses that are carried over when one dies or passes to the other side. You can't hide from yourself and your mind anymore . . . . the thought forms take shape, color, etc. Best die with a clean plate. Otherwise, your life was an honest one and you did the best you could with what you had. And, that you were not a thoughtless person towards others.

How to stop a cat from shredding toilet paper Posted: 12/7/2008 7:22:10 PM
A Japanese company named Toto manufactures a "washlet" that has a hot air blower. It's possible to ditch the toilet paper with the unit.

Children need to be protected from predators no matter where they are-- Period. This new issue is new "case law" and the courts--just life any other bureaucratic entity--is generally behind the ball on technology. Case law is different than legislative law but is just as powerful and often overturns legislative laws.

Is money really that important ladies? Posted: 11/2/2008 8:34:21 AM
Yes, money matters, and a lot of men who have money don't want women who are "needy" in that area. Money in old age means security. Certainly, most of us never thought about this at age 23 . . . . Now, intellect and good conversation is as important as sex. I would not have stated that in my 20's, either.

The Dumbing Down Of The American Mind Posted: 9/3/2008 6:10:09 PM
Yes, this is true. A very large chunk of America has become the "Land of Stupid". Otherwise, people that will not think for themselves no matter what. They are just marching off a cliff. Maybe I'll retire out of country. I'm glad my parents got to die in time so they didn't have to see this, living through the Depression and WWII, etc. It all started in the mid 1960's with the hippies The above quote is not true. I graduated in Kentucky, yes Kentucky where I had college courses my last year in high school. The public school is still one of the top 550 in the country. Yes, I was a hippy smoking pot, etc. But so what. Most of us were. Fornicating like bunnies (you only wish!) It's still did stop me from buying real estate, studying law and business. The middle of this country and the south have become a flock of sheep . . . . we still have a lot of brain power on the east coast. Unfortunately, a lot of that is IMPORTED.

It looks like McCain's VP pick is Sarah Palin Posted: 9/3/2008 3:27:36 PM
Sarah Palin's fiscal activities in her own home town as Mayor: During her mayoral administration most of the actual work of running this small city was turned over to an administrator. She had been pushed to hire this administrator by party power-brokers after she had gotten herself into some trouble over precipitous firings which had given rise to a recall campaign. Sarah campaigned in Wasilla as a "fiscal conservative". During her 6 years as Mayor, she increased general government expenditures by over 33%. During those same 6 years the amount of taxes collected by the City increased by 38%. This was during a period of low inflation (1996-2002). She reduced progressive property taxes and increased a regressive sales tax which taxed even food. The tax cuts that she promoted benefited large corporate property owners way more than they benefited residents. The huge increases in tax revenues during her mayoral administration weren't enough to fund everything on her wish list though, borrowed money was needed, too. She inherited a city with zero debt, but left it with indebtedness of over $22 million. What did Mayor Palin encourage the voters to borrow money for? Was it the infrastructure that she said she supported? The sewage treatment plant that the city lacked? or a new library? No. $1m for a park. $15m-plus for construction of a multi-use sports complex which she rushed through to build on a piece of property that the City didn't even have clear title to, that was still in litigation 7 yrs later-to the delight of the lawyers involved! The sports complex itself is a nice addition to the community but a huge money pit, not the profit- generator she claimed it would be. She also supported bonds for $5.5m for road projects that could have been done in 5-7 yrs without any borrowing. While Mayor, City Hall was extensively remodeled and her office redecorated more than once. These are small numbers, but Wasilla is a very small city.

Sarah Palin's 17 year old pregnant daughter! Posted: 9/2/2008 6:37:51 PM
my foster brother grew up in an orphanage. all the kids he was there with are now dead of alcoholism or committed suicide. Yeh, if they (Republicans) get in they will make abortion illegal on a Federal level. All the gays will be in trouble, too. Fond memories of illegal abortion: At age 16 my girl friend got pregnant. I went to the public library and researched how to abort the child. I told her to take a meat therometer and push it through her cervix. She did, pain and all, and ended up in the emergency room, dying. Fond memories of adoption: Another friend in her mid 60's had two children out of wedlock. She recently tracked down both of her children and found that both of them had been abused in foster care, and one was a drug/alcoholic. I can't tell you the life time of depression my friend has had over all of this. Gay basing: A common sport in the southern part of the US and elsewhere. I have the friends to prove it. Sometimes it's got Jesus's name attached at the end of the whip. I have a newspaper article on my refridgerator about a born-again who thinks that Al Gore's documentary on global warming is an act of Satan. That global warming is a sign that Jesus is coming back, soon. I personally think this is insane. So America/Theocracy. March forward into stupid and dumbing down. 50 million of these born-agains rule America. Personally, I think that the "spirit of man" enters upon birth. With out that essence, we are just animals. Being gay is a matter of body/brain chemistry.

Sarah Palin's 17 year old pregnant daughter! Posted: 9/2/2008 6:14:38 AM
Welcome to the REPUBLICAN PARTY OF "JUNO". I agree that Palin is a good manager, however the VP role is absolutlely frightening to me. This is just another irrational move by our new Republican Party (the past 20 or so years) that pander to the extreme right, neo-cons, right to life, Christian Republicans. It doesn't matter that this woman experience and education (broadcasting?) qualify her, what matters is that she did not abort a mongoloid child. Isn't the world populated enough, already????? I can't wait to read about the explosion of teenage births with her daughter in the news. The movie JUNO helped popularized teen preganancy as "cool". The only people who should be having children are the ones who can afford it financially and otherwise. If Palin and her husband did not have their "heads in the cloud" with their Christianity, they would have had their daughter on birth control like any normal mother would. The fiscal responsibility now falls on the grandparents and the U.S. welfare system (MY TAXES THANK YOU). Sure she's going to get married. We've seen the shot gun, right? Married, so what? Whose's supporting the teen parents? Furthermore, if the Republicans get in again, I think Canada should brace itself for a wave of American emigrants.

What does blood line have to do with spirits? Sometimes yes, other times, no. I have a lot of psychic friends. We talk in spirit talk sometimes and believe me, other people wouldn't know what we were talking about. Most of us have a family member somewhere in the family tree that was a "strega", also. (strega is Italian for witch). I'm using that word because it's disrespectful to say "medicine person or shamanistic" according to some well informed persons that have appeared here. There is a part of our brains that is functioning, that--for most people--have been trashed by civilization. From an early age "civilization" says they (spirits and spirit forces) don't exist because "you can't prove it", etc. All that crap. Of course, you should see the look on some people's face when I meet them and "uncle Ernie" drops in and says "hi". Ernie died years ago. Get it?????? From my experience, a lot of my friends like this have NA blood in them. Coincidence? I don't think so!!!

First we kill off their people and take their land. Do we have to take their spirituality too? No Ray, that was our great-great-grand parents, and in some cases our grandparents. We're too young to take your land. Some of us have a little Red blood in us and we feel it. Others may have been Red in a past life time. It doesn't matter, really. We have rejected the Christianity and Judism that we grew up with, or the lack thereof. The whole scene of monotheism leaves us empty. Nature spoke to us and we listened. All we want is to be taught properly, etc. If you think about it, it's the way for the culture to survive. Besides, traveling the old path that we grew up with WOULD BE A LIE.

Hello, I live in central Massachusetts, but my mother's family was from Mississippi. My great-grandmother was a healer of Lamar County, Alabama. My mother was about 1/4 Cherokee. Intuitive sensitivity runs on that side of my family. I use my "medicine gift" to help people. I am a Spiritualist Minister which means I'm a psychic/medium. Spirits walk through me all the time. I'm a radio. I attribute this to my Native American blood line. Blessings of Spirit, grandmother & grandfather

Shannon County, South Dakota, home of the Oglala Lakota on Pine Ridge Reservation is identified as the poorest place in the country. Something that really bugs me is why aren't the wealthy Indian nations--around her there are two, Fox Woods & Moeghan Sun with the casinos--contributing to their distant relatives? I wish someone would do a news report about this. Preservation of the cultures, languages, etc. to me is of utmost importance. As we know, many are extinct.

Calling all 40-60Something Males? Posted: 8/11/2008 8:11:53 PM
How many men, I mean how many have I run into that are my age, divorced from younger wives, have young children and now they want a woman their own age (their ex's were a lot younger) who has "no baggage" to help them out with their lives, their responsibilities financial or otherwise? A lot! Look, I figure I've got 20 good years left to go full blast. I need a running partner. Helping you support your kids through college is not what I'm planning on doing. Being a step-grandmother is. Didn't these guys ever look past their pants when these younger women KNEW that they could get them to satisfy the biological clock? I was one of them. I didn't "just get pregnant" and drag a man through probate court. Age 55, etc., is a little old to "finally be looking for an honest relationship". In that, you guys wanted all your freedom until age 45 and now you are singing a different toon. Well, you should have thought of that 20 years ago.

WeAre1 I spoke to a good friend of mine who, around 35 years ago left his "toney, upperclass" New England town outside of Boston and tracked down the Hopi Rez and stayed for a while and was trained by a medicine man, about all the controversy that we have received on this thread. While he was out there two other Hopis tried to kill him. I guess his grandmother who was a Druid was looking after him. I said, "I didn't know that all these people hate me who I do not know". He said, "yes, that's why I keep my mouth shut and don't make myself public". I said, "you know you could be making probably $2000 a weekend doing sweat lodges, etc." Being my carpenter he said, "well, I'm in the wrong business". Over all these years we've seen a lot of fools come and go in the metaphysical realms. Mark, a/k/a Swift Deer lives the wild man life in the woods with his wife and they are not not "straight shooter, corporate type" like me. Both of us agree the world would be more in balance if they embraced the practices and philosophies of the North American native experience. I'm sure Plato has the same stories, quite frankly.

Cant see the point in all this petty competing chaprins: I don't see the competition on this thread. I see people telling their stories and experiences. All of it is real to me. If we were a group of born-again-Christians who have passed out in a church with the same experience, it would be the same. Spirit is Spirit. No one owns it. Some entries on this thread are from people who are or who have lived/learned directly with NA folks. Some have just assimulated the experiences, etc. There is a lot lost in emails as compared to being face to face with a person, reading their face, body and tone of voice. There is always something lost with email. This is off topic, but I want to share it: Yesterday during my service a woman's spirit came through who had died from dementia. She explained to me that being in that state of mental decline is like not having a voice--being unable to speak. I must admit that I lingered for a few minutes try to assimulate this info . . . . .

Teachers dont cry do they? Teachers have the answers and can give them to you Teachers are able to tell you what path to take and how it all works Teachers can I am a teacher. I just spent part of the afternoon giving "readings" and teaching thereof . . . . After I leave I walk around with a mild buzz on and dilated pupils from the intact of pure energy and the other world sharing my brain for a while. I pack the church and most people walk away saying they don't know how I do it. Well, I don't know either. I know that I was chosen by Spirit, genetically I blame it on my NA blood, which is a good thing for all these people that count on me. I personally, do not have a designated religion. I have no dogma, I just observe and feel. After years of this practice and hanging out around other mediums, some folks start to develop these talents themselves. Blame it on a contact high and desire. I don't have all the answers for me at all. I never know about my own adventure each day and I have the same sh*t and bills as everyone else. I can't pick a winner lottery number but if some entity is "lost" is sees my aura and drops in for a chat. A teacher is just another human being--who incarnated because they aren't perfect--but chose to give a part of their being to humanity and other beings of the godhead without another hand out. Their payment is the esctasy of spirit that fills them at that moment. That being said, if it is to be that this is this person full blown occupation, they need to be reasonably compensated. And, I really don't care if this blows a bad wind across the traditional NA path. It's the way of modern life. My great great great great grandfathers started the Mormon church, took over Utah, and coerced lots of 14 year old girls and married women to have secretive sex with them, killed each other to save their souls, and tried to make the US a theocracy. I don't really feel very compelled to seek their spiritual guidance. Sadly, sadly, the crimes of various branches of Christianity is overwhelming if we just review it. 9 million killed and torture in Europe for their herbal, green man, mother goddess, Odin (whatever), the Indians of meso American and South American, the Indians here deprived of their spirit life and ways. Ultimately, Christ did not deserve this. They would have burnt me at the stake a long time ago.

champrins I agree with post 621. There is a certain amount of suffering that comes with knowledge and power. It's necessary for empathy towards those who you are drawn to; those of us who can facilitate change in other's lives. There is a great sacrifice. In my case it's being ostracised within my white culture. And, apparently in the Red culture, too.

Tregana, I just spent about 1/2 hour reading through some of the entries under NAFPS (I hope I've got that right). I'm amazed. I'm so naive. I have not been hanging with any of this stuff. The last time I had an extra $2500 I did an eco tour in Costa Rica. I did pick up a spirit for a brief period of time after hiking through a jungle park. Anyway, what I read reminds me of my old music, songwriting partner 30 years ago in Boston. He dropped out of rock n' roll to become, in my words, a New Age Snake Oil Salesman. He done very well with all of this. But I know the real dude and I just can't forget. No No. He became a musician to get laid. One night I had my hands on his Ecankar Book --which was only for the initiated--and he thought the house was going to blow up. Then while he was getting his whole New Age School thing up and running he was very busy dropping Ecstacy and fornicating with various followers . . . . . his wife actually signed a "open-marriage" contract. Hi passage is not NA but Tibetian/Buddist/chanting, music stuff., etc. A trust fund baby from NYC . . . . . do you want me to continue with this crap or is this enought? _________________________ Don't get me wrong. There are legit people out there who are paid a reasonable fee for what they do. I may be in that position one day when I can retire. The last thing I want to do is to be in a position of having the hustle my message to keep the roof over my head. It will take all the fun away.

Sherry, you were most likely seeing Grandama Sara's spirit guides. In one of the Spiritualist Churches that I serve is from the late 1800's. There are old, old photographs & paintings on the walls of the temple. One of them has a medium with a NA guide behind her. I actually had windows slam shut during some of my services there! How dramatic!

pain-kir, how do I feel about starting this thread? I feel that a lot has been accomplished, a lot has been taught by practically everyone on here. Knowledge is good thing. I never knew that there was this level of opposition out there. I do, however, have emphathy with the info delivered by the voices of dissent. The is a culture that is use to one on one teaching without the printed word. They were also practically exterminated by the very people whose children approach them now. The way to mass market the correct teachings is probably impossible as it differs from tribe to tribe. I like my text book from the Navajo College. That works. A book will not transfer spirit power. That is a human experience, whether the teacher is alive or dead. I have a talent that has taught me well. When I get around a person who has spiritual powers I go into a mild trance state and their spirit guides show their faces to me behind the persons head. I get shown visions about that persons life, etc. Some times I don't need a book. The spooks like me! _______________________ WeAre1, Thanks sweetie for the list of wisdom. It's all good.

I know several male friends from Montreal. One one is married. The rest had kids with their women and one has been on welfare for around 18 years now with 3 kids. I can't figure out why so many of them with children are not married. Anyway, I also was told that 40 years ago or more the Canadian government along with the Catholic church (Quebec) was running around, knocking on doors, telling everyone to have 6 kids. Gez??? Maybe this behavior is a backlash. I don't know. You guys pay 1/3 of your paycheck to the government; we in the US pay 1/4th. Here, if the DNA comes up with you as the father, you pay.

Casheyedblond: What is BlueCornComics, anyway? I was on this pathway of philosophy before puberty? Did you check my age out? I'm in my mid-fifties. At the time there was nothing published that I could buy. There was only observation of animals and nature? As a child I had no concept or mentored direction on where I was trying to get to. I was stuck in a Methodist Church. To the "real people" on this thread. It is fortunate that you were born into or have had the opportunity to be invited into the inner circle. Some of us have had to claw our way in, or be bold enough to knock on an unknown door. Please, tell this to your Red friends and family. WE ARE DROWNING IN OUR ANCESTORS BULLSHIT. Those of us that come to our teachers with our hearts open are just that--and that only. This is the only, the only way I can be a channel. I work with my heart and my intellect and then receive. Without the purity of consciousness I could never travel to the higher planes for answers and directions. The ego HAS TO BE LEFT BEHIND. As for those, like Plato, who have chosen to live in a NA way--one that embraces a certain amount of poverty because materialism repulses them--then so be it. It's their choice. Why should you care? What is more important? To know SPIRIT or to not know SPIRIT? My Spirit is not Jesus. He's a nice avatar, but that's all folks. I don't want a religion that states mankind is superior to nature and Super Nature. Look at this mess we are in on this planet now. All I can say about that is, I'm glad I don't have any children to pass this mess onto; I probably will not incarnate here again, if I can avoid it. I wish that the NA would "step up to bat" if they dare and walk over the bodies awaiting Armageddon to reclaim the earth again--and bring in the sanity. That being said, I don't blame them if they don't. My friend Swift Deer says the reason why so many red spirits incarnated into white bodies is to do just that--change the tide of humanity. We need those to come forth to take those of us who are there in spirit, if not the flesh, and teach us to be the leaders we need to be, for the sake of the planet, if not for ourselves. May Spirit Bless . . . . . . .

A note sent to me from my "brother" "Swift Deer", a/k/a Mark, white dude trained by a Hopi medicine man 35 years ago: Law of the Garbage Truck One day I hopped in a taxi and we took off for the airport. We were driving in the right lane when suddenly a black car jumped out of a parking space right in front of us. My taxi driver slammed on his brakes, skidded, and missed the other car by just inches! The driver of the other car whipped his head around and started yelling at us. My taxi driver just smiled and waved at the guy. He was really friendly. So I asked, "Why did you just do that? This guy almost ruined your car and sent us to the hospital!" This is when my taxi driver taught me what I now call, "The Law of the Garbage Truck." He explained that many people are like garbage trucks. They run around full of garbage, full of frustration, full of anger, and full of disappointment. As their garbage piles up, they need a place to dump it and sometimes they'll dump it on you. Don't take it personally. Just smile, wave, wish them well, and move on. Don't take their garbage and spread it to other people at work, at home, or on the streets. The bottom line is that successful people do not let garbage trucks take over their day. Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so...Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it! Have a blessed, garbage-free day. My comment: We all have something to **** about. I'm an agressive person driving a stick shift car that takes corners like a magnet. I have an attitude. When you incarnated here this life time there were a lot of issues you came back to earth to work out. Follow your heart and be honest in your attempts. If you fail, so what? At least you tried and you were not a coward. Go to your grave happy that you gave life all you got.

Oh my, I started this to find a man who might be sympathetic to my brain waves!!!! Off topic, and an accomplishment: A girl friend whom I met on another web site, who has become a close friend is flying from Iowa to vacation with me in a month. So, there are some good connections that can come out of this type of venue--even if it isn't romantic. We're headed to Martha's Vinyard to lay on the nude beach and check out all the gueer boys! I hope I meet with WeAre1, too.

Heck, I'm glad that Tregana is on this thread--and Raven, too. I had NO IDEA that there was this much damage to the NA community, nor that it has been going on for years and years. But then, I'm on the east coast which has a very limited community, unlike the west. That being said it would be nice if the NA community would make it more accessible to those of us who have invested a great deal of our hopes and desires to move in a spiritual path that is more harmonious with our souls. We are not happy with our Christian or Jewish upbring. It doesn't work for us. I'm certain that if I was born in a NA community the course of my life would have been very different. Instead, I'm white and somewhat ostracized from the "white middle class life style" because of my way of thinking. After my posts on this thread, I'll never get a date here! (I don't give a damn. I can pass myself off as "normal" some place else.) My favorite book is the one published by the Navajo College. It's not a fluff ball book. It's a text book. And Raven, I believe what you wrote about the fact that the only way to learn is one-to-one with a medicine person. Besides the lessons that are taught by following his or her pathway, spirits have to be "added" and or exchanged. That's not going to happen by a weekend course at a new age school or through a book. _____________________________ Casheyesblond: I am a Spiritualist Minister and have been since 1975. I stand in front of an audience at the churches and give readings just by looking at them. I'm like Lisa Williams, etc., but I do not possess her talent, her money, and her connections. I do this for shit and giggles. It get's me out of this earth plane for 1 hour at a time. As I give the readings I'm also learning from the entities that talk through me. I do this "cold". I do not, I repeat--this is important--know these people or anything about their personal lives. That's the only way I can be effective. In this way I give back to "Spirit", which is my generic term for "God". Giving of myself with my unique talent is a joy. I am "fed" by Spirit during these sessions. I physically and mentally feel different. I believe that my talent is part genetic from the NA sided of my great-grandparents. Thus, my interest in NA spirituality. And Casheyedblond, is a sad you and and others are dismayed by the many entries here from other white folk that have invested--mostly all with good intentions--a great deal of their lives, time, and money pursuing the lessons thereof. Not all of us have the good fortune to have a grandmother who would have directly taught us the lessons we want to learn. As usual, this is just IMO.

Thanks Tregana, Raven, etc. for the recent posts. I wouldn't call myself a "new ager" as I noticed about 30 years ago that it was a commercialized marketing package. It never, never wanted to go into the dark side of "Power", in that power can be abuse, vampire people of their spirit and their money. The publishers never wanted to allow this stuff to hit the printed page. The publishers and some of these teachers want to keep people dumbed and numbed and coming in. It's no different than the Penecostal churches, etc. Throughout my life, I who has "power", have personally battled jerks whenever I feel this through every pore in my body. By their actions they are known. However, as an innocent child of 14 a damn long time ago, I walked away from the Christian church as I was empty--utterly empty. It did not speak to me. All of nature did. No one from AIM, etc., can deny me as to who and what I am. I am a person--for the lack of a better word--who "has medicine running through me". If I had the time and opportunity to learn from a real medicine man or woman I'd pay them in cash. I'm sure that they would need it for the betterment of their lives. I could be into Buddism, but I am not. The nature religions of the Americas and of old Europe is where I project towards. And I base my life upon the infinite, not the finite. So be it.

Heres a link to a photo of the Aboriginals of Scandinavia standing by their tepee home Will someone please tell me how to box stuff in with the quote, already??? Anyway Chiny, I have a close friend who is from Norway who is a very powerful psychic. The Samis are in her blood line. I think they are the only indigenous tribe left in Europe. RAVEN, thanks for dropping back in and bringing in an true voice of reason. Last night one of my totems, owl, was going full blast in my backyard. The few times that I have tranced out and been to the higher levels of existence, it is very, very apparent to me that all religions (the NA is a life style and philosophy and not a corporation with dogma) are but LANGUAGES or pathways to the same place. As long as that place of being is composed of unconditional love and intellect. No one people are the chosen ones. Please note that the Godhead has no ego, and therefore one cannot pass to that level with theirs in full gear. I has to be left at the door of the guardian before one can pass through.

Hookers expect boost in business from any convention Posted: 8/5/2008 7:48:27 PM
A long time ago I lived in Washington DC. Most of the secretaries on the street going to work all looked like models. My assumption is they were in a very good place to shop for a wealthy husband no matter what his age. What was important was his power and his wallet. I remember seeing two women working a street corner in mink coats. This was pointed out to me my a madam. A friend had an apartment at 14th & K Streets with a telescope. We use to watch the corner. His favorite was a white girl in 4 inch ankle strap heels. Anyway, I have memories of being hit up in New Orleans prior to my life in DC by a woman looking for more women to service the Baptist Convention when they hit town. The only problem, she stated, was that we had to service the vice squad. Getting older means a lot of this activity stops. Oh, yeh. But I can remember having a emerald and diamond tennis bracelet being tossed at me in a public arena. I think that prostitution should be legal like it is in the Netherlands. It should be controlled under the Board of Health on a Federal level. It's not going away and there are always some women that can stand anybody squirming on top of them, etc. Quite frankly, the thought makes me throw up. However, it's none of my business. There will be just as many hookers at the Dems convention, too. The difference is the lack of bible thumpers--or the phonies that attach themselves to that pack of riff/raff to get the votes. _______________________________ And Saudi Arabia? Well, we've turned our head away a long, long, time ago with their white slave trade for oil. And this goes right up to the top of the American Federal Government.

Whitefether, I've never had a negative experience with the "extended aura". I seems to be the result of Spirit coming directly into mine own personal aura. Whenever it leaves my body and I shrink back to normal (for me there is an additional aura because of the mediumship as that's how deceased people find me--it's like a road sign) I have learned a lot and have been changed. I've never had any of the experiences you talk about. Perhaps these people were not prepared for the experience. I had mentors when I was young. They are deceased and now I'm the mentor. I think the best preparation for these experiences is to be able to check you ego at the door with your coat and leave it there and make it loud and clear to entities that you will only accept those of the "light" and nothing else. Otherwise, we go to war.

Whitefeather, I never had that boomerang experience. Just intense peace afterward for quite some time. I refer to this state of being as, being in my "oversoul". This would be the summation of all life times past and present. One is in a state of timelessness and very centered.

Was this a sign? Weird experience at a monastary. Posted: 8/4/2008 7:50:30 PM
Old buildings are frequently--or most likely--always haunted. They just did not want you do take the picture, that's all. You should have taken him outside! Don't haunt a building when you die, it's not worth. Ahh! good one ShimmaDaNah! Years ago I was with some folks repairing a tape recording of various prayers to use as an exorcism in a house. We put the reel to reel recorder in the house and let it run over night. When we took the tape machine out and replayed the tape, "something" was trapped within the sound. It sounded like a roar. Yes, this is true. Eventually the sound continued to eat the tape up. Our fearless leader decided to burn the reel in a barbeque pit. Just a puff of black smoke with a real nasty shape to it. Wow!
