I am so happy to know that so many humans care about other life forms
I have been vegetarian since the 1970s
In the 1970s when I was first in Animal lib —-we would get a monthly news letter with recipes
At Christmas the news letter had—“Turkey Surprise” — the surprise was NO TURKEY

In South Australia in the 1970’s and 80’s vegetarians and vegans were not catered for.
There was a cafe on the corner of Hindmarsh Square and Rundle Street Adelaide, called “Carrots” :
one restaurant that catered for vegans
and a Lebanese restaurant that offered a vegetarian platter.
The only vegetarian food one could buy was by Sanitarium
which was, and am guessing still is, owned by the Seventh-day Adventist church.
(And very much appreciated — Thank you Seventh Day Adventists)
We were ridiculed and abused by those in pubs, restaurants and people generally.
I made my own burghers using lentils, vegetable and bread crumbs and at a surprise birthday party for my (now ex) husband all the carnivores were eating these:
not realizing they had no meat.
If I ate meat I would have night mares about being an animal in a slaughter house.
I object to factory farming and production line slaughter.
Of course the reason the setup is this way is there are way to many humans.


I didn’t want to eat meat as a child:
for refusing I received a bashing from my mother:
she threatened to have me put in a mental institution
and served me the same meal for breakfast lunch and tea until I ate it.
I have allowed myself to eat meat on a few occasions over the years usually because I was anaemic
The night mares return plus my digestive system doesn’t handle meat.
In this day and age when there are so many vegans, I never expected to be ridiculed but it has happened on several occasions.
I complimented one woman on having soy milk in her coffee and she abused the hell out of me:
Said that she wasn’t vegan (which according to her is worse than leprosy ) she had soy milk because she liked it.
It is important to me that I am always honest so I must confess that sadly I have only been a part time vegan— but still vegetarian:
Hoping this time around I will stay vegan.
If I ate eggs I bought those produced locally as I have been to the farm where the chickens are and I would live where they live 😀


I cannot watch cooking shows:
Haven’t cooked meat for anyone since 1998
I am horrified that people think eating creature that is boiled alive is a treat.

A friend asked me why vegans avoid dairy :
I explained that the cows are kept continually pregnant:
the calves go to slaughter and their mothers know.
In my opinion the drug companies are worse than the meat industry.
In 1982 the husband of one of my staff asked me to report that suckie calves were left to die of dehydration & starvation.
I was told by someone who bought stock that
all new borns are just left to die that way.
In 1982 I reported what was told to me to the RSPCA who called me a liar and a trouble maker.
I put something inwriting but it was ignored.
Years later an acquaintance who had worked in the abattoirs told me that the drug companies ask for this.
And my podiatrist (an animal activist) told me that the drug companies collect hormones from this type of death.

If you think that death is the end this book will make you question that assumption:
In the 1970’s I was intrigued by psychic abilities:
A fellow student at teachers college introduced me to Spiritualism:
I thought people were way too gullible.
I went from thinking silly humans are afraid of dying and are making the information fit to realizing that sometimes the communication with those who have died is genuine.
There are so many stories that I would love to include but it would be breaking client confidentiality.
A SHORT STORY ABOUT HEALING THE BLUE PLANET
I wrote and published this sci fi short story a few years ago (under the above title) when the human population was
7.4 billion:
(1st published 4th April 2017)
It is now more than 8 .2 billion
I wrote this short story as social satire and sympathetic magic
The idea that we were genetically engineered is from Mayan writings plus my belief that humans are not indigenous to the planet
The concept of translocation was once a practice pre Roman Empire and apparently still is in some so called primitive cultures
The idea that humans were livestock for the gods is mine but am sure others have thought this
I chose Ophiuchus because I was I was drawn to this constellation
I chose Kunapipi because I respect and admire the wisdom and spirituality of indigenous Australians
I know that many people realize that our cultural norms are a major factor in causing the extinction of all life.
But still conform to these social norms:
Not because they are worried about what others think:
but because these attitudes are “hard wired”.
WASPs (as in White Anglo Saxon Protestant) believe that we own things
we are part of a culture that inculcates only money matters.
Multi nationals control the world and the politicians
WASPs (as in White Anglo Saxon Protestant)
Don’t like a messy garden with leaves on the driveway:
Don’t like bird poop on their home or cars:
Don’t want flies ants and other insects in their homes:
Snails in their vegie patch:
Or birds eating the vegetables or fruit:
AND THERE IS MORE
I am not immune
Technically I am a WASP
And I realize that hygiene is necessary
I believe we will restore the ecological balance:
We need a major attitude change:
How will this happen while multinationals rule the world?

Namaste
I love the meaning of this word
The quote is from chopra.com One of the most common translations of namasté is “The divine light in me bows to the divine light within you.”

I was going to post about how humans terrify me
(who wants to fit into a culture where
sociopaths succeed
psychopaths are glorified
Lying narcissist cause irreparable harm to others
and mindless automatons fit in
A culture that stereotypes and categorizes
Where attractive people are considered the good guys and intelligent–(thanks partly to movies and tv where the hero is always attractive)
My generation (The Flower Power Generation)
have been the catalyst for change
I was in “Women’s Liberation”
Women had no rights and no status and the majority of women believed this was how it should be.
We couldn’t buy a house and landlords would not rent to separated women:
we couldnt have a bank account
a solicitor told me that abuse wasn’t grounds for divorce
I Googled this — “Women also faced financial discrimination and were seen as a high-risk investment by banks as little as just 50 years ago. It wasn’t until 1975 that women could open a bank account in their own name.”
A woman was expected to stay a virgin until she was married:
A man was expected to be promiscuous:
Never understood how that worked:
In the 1950s gay men were put into a mental institution (in South Australia — think it was prison in other countries)
AND THEN CAME THE SEXUAL REVOLUTION.
YIPPEE!
Gays could stop pretending that they were heterosexual.
And women could enjoy sex.
I was in the original Greenpeace –
Animal liberation and later Trees For Life
Greenpeace was considered a dangerous radical group and its member deviant
Greenpeace wax concerned about how much damage humans were doing to the ecology and environment
Population and that nuclear waste cannot be safely disposed of
In the 1970s I was ridiculed and abused for being a vegetarian
This century environmental groups have devolved into impotent bureaucracies
BUT
On a positive note
thanks to both social media and the media
more are aware of the problems humans have and are causing
ACENTUATING THE POSITIVE =
more people care about the enviroment
more respect cultures
more respect sexual prefrences
and more are vegans
be kind to non humans

I should have called this book LIFE AFTER DEATH as my experiences convinced me that this life isn’t all that there is –
The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece
but a true story.
I dont know the meaning of life:
nor understand the nature of reality:
I do know physical death is not the end.
And there are so many amazing stories omitted so as not to break client confidentiality.
The second part I wrote as therapy and had not intended to include.
It wasn’t included in the original l publication
( I started shaking when I tried to write about the abuse so it is badly written and a great deal omitted)
In my day PTSD wasn’t acknowledged
I spent a fortune on psychiatrists who told me that there was nothing wrong with me
Recently a wise young lady made me aware of CPTSD — it explained so many of my symptoms
“Complex PTSD (C-PTSD or CPTSD) is a mental health condition that can develop following prolonged or repeated trauma, rather than a single event. In addition to traditional PTSD symptoms, it profoundly impacts an individual’s emotional regulation, self-concept, and ability to maintain healthy relationships.”
“C-PTSD is typically the result of long-term, repeated trauma, especially situations where escape feels impossible.”
Common origins include
Childhood abuse
I suffered this from my mother whose abuse lasted 63 years and 8 moths (until the day she died)
I have flash backs to when I was in my cot
I was shut in the wood burning part of a wood stove when it was lit when i was four
she admitted when i was ten that she bashed me because she felt like it
Yet her mental abuse was worse
She told lies at my expense (and Dads when he was alive) to get attention or to get what she wanted
or chronic trauma
I count at least 12 major traumas
Prolonged domestic violence
I had two abusive husbands
ASTRAL PROJECTION
from Mother Wit by Diane Mariechild
Clairvoyance is developed through practice:
my daughter suggested this book
I hope that it helps people
In the following book I hope to help those who wish to develop their clairvoyant abilities.
In “The Clairvoyant Experiences Of A Sceptic” I told a few of my clairvoyant experiences.
Listening to others similar stories made me realize that
it is so much better if you can have these experiences first hand.
Kung fu tz (Confucius) say “Perseverance prospers”
So don’t give up – you will succeed
And use the recorded meditations in my blog

Namaste
I love the meaning of this word
The quote is from chopra.com One of the most common translations of namasté is “The divine light in me bows to the divine light within you.”
I don’t believe it is an actual word but I have been using it for decades:
Earlier this century my youngest granddaughter said “Nan – you are one!” (Human)
There are several reason I don’t like humans
It is the human attitude to other life forms that upsets me the most
I used to think there was something wrong with me because I didn’t accept our cultural norms as absolute:
in our culture
Sociopaths succeed
Psychopaths are glorified
And mindless automatons fit in.
Nudity and swearing are unacceptable
but cruelty to other life forms is acceptable
and violence is entertainment
Humans think they own land and other things
They kill animals for eating “their” crops
Humans kill animals for trespassing on “their” property
Humans kill insects’ snails and animals because they can
Our cultural norms and attitudes cause the extinction of other life forms
Having neat and tidy gardens:
Chopping down trees:
using poisons :
killing other life forms that humans label vermin –
“Humans have driven the extinction of at least 881 animal species since around 1500, with many scientists suspecting the true number is far higher, possibly reaching over a million species by some estimates, including threatened ones. Plant and invertebrate extinctions are also significant but less documented. The current rate of species loss is unprecedented, leading to an ongoing sixth mass extinction, a phenomenon primarily caused by human activities like habitat destruction. “
Knowing a culture and its religion affect language
Western cultures would be so much better if we had these words
