ANTHROPHOBIC

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 –

me in 1988 Kangaroo Island

“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

AHIMSA

THANKING OUR BODY

This is from  a meditation group that I attended in 1980 – the man running the group played the tape and I was able to get a copy

Unfortunately I no longer have this tape so cannot credit the lady who first recorded it

Me with my granddog

I apologize for the background noise in this but as it isn’t an actual meditation where the consciousness is in alpha it should not matter

NAMASTE

A CREATIVE MEDITATION

CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS MEDITATION

This is a visualization meditation

You create  a sacred space which you use for healing

talking with friends

solving problems

creating anything that you wish

I recorded this guided meditation for a psychic development group that I  was running, at participants request

I have put it  in writing to bring down your guides for the first time as it isn’t included in the audio

The colours and numbers take your consciousness to alpha.

MEDITATION

Relax: centre: and protect yourself.

Breathe deeper and slower that you normally would.

Visualize the colour RED and know that you are becoming more relaxed.

Now visualize ORANGE

YELLOW
GREEN
BLUE: you are very relaxed and calm now.

INDIGO

VIOLET

You are now on a beach. Feel the sand between your toes. Smell the sea air. Hear the seagulls and the thunder of the waves. Stay here a while relaxing.

You see an hole in the cliff face and start walking toward this.

You enter and find yourself in a cave lit by phosphorescent fungi.

There are steps going down.

You descend these steps.

12;11;10;9;8;7;6;5;4;3;2;1

There is a door in front of you.

You open this door.

This is your sacred space:

You create this yourself.

The more that you use this meditation the more powerful it will become.

Have an elevator to the right at the back to bring people down for healing; problems solving; or just to talk to.

Always send them back up.

The first time you go to you sacred space you bring down a male & female guide.

They stay here. You do not send THEM back.

visualize the lift/elevator going up

then coming back down

as the door opens your female guide steps out

notice how she looks

ask her name

ask her to stand by you while you send the elevator back up

and then down again

as the door opens your male guide steps out

notice how he looks

ask his name

spend time talking with your guides

create your sacred space

Create a door to the back left to go on astral journeys.

A clock and calendar to change the date & time. — or these days a computer would do.

Anything that you feel that you require for healing

Anything you wish

I have a “natural” mineral pool because I like nature:

You could have a spar

Or a medical bed like they have in Star Trek 😛

Remember that your guides stay in this sacred space awaiting you.

When you are ready go back the way that you came.

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.

ELDER’S LIBERATION

.

It is time for Elders Liberation!

Before the Industrial Revolution one’s status went up with one’s age.

Elders were respected!

Post-Industrial Revolution we see new things as good and old things as no good and this transfers to people.

My generation brought about changes for the better. Equality for the sexes

Equal rights for women, Afro -Americans; indigenous Americans, our indigenous Australians

Acceptance of non-heterosexual preferences.

Rights for people with disabilities.

Great music:

And there is more.

We were “The Flower Power” generation

Remember you will all be old one day unless you don’t live that long.

Fortunately, where I live most shop staff are respectful to the elderly because there is a large majority of retirees here.

 

MY WISH – ECOLOGY BEFORE ECONOMY

My children used to call me Doctor Dolittle

(But if you have ever read the book; Hugh Lofting says that livestock don’t have feelings: so I am different to the character in the book)

I was in the original Greenpeace — we were labelled a dangerous radical group —I stopped using plastic wrap in the 1970s -I did my best to avoid using plastic but sadly thanks to the multinational gods who only care about money the use of plastic has increased

From a sociological point of view the more people believe in something ( and work toward this goal) the more likely it is to happen

I have a Facebook group entitled:

My Wish – Ecology Before Economy

When I was in primary school we were asked to write an essay entitled “My Wish”

It was the 1950s

I wrote that I wished that people would care more about the planet and other life forms than about money: The headmaster wrote “good girl” on this essay

and I was so embarrassed that I didn’t think like everyone else:

who wrote about items they wish they had.

In retrospect realize that as a child I wanted to adhere to Ahimsa

a term that I didn’t know then.

I respect all life:

excepting those humans that don’t respect other life forms.

For as long as I remember  I have repected all  life;

I  talk to animals:

reptiles (even though I know snakes are deaf)

 Birds

 Insects

 Arachnoids

 snails

plants and trees:

I thank the water every time I turn on the tap:

Thank my food.

Talk to the wind.

I get abused by the mindless automatons for feeding the birds

They say- The birds are supposed to find there own food:

 Difficult for the birds – the human plague has destroyed it all.

I have studied psychology and sociology –

the nature/ nurture argument doesn’t explain why I think like I do?

Certainly  wasn’t leaned behaviour.

A “past life” maybe?

Blessed be

and be kind to non humans

These babes were “road kill” a couple of days later 😦

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

CHALLENGING CULTURAL NORMS

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: I got upset this morning when I saw a snail dying when I went for my walk

Or birds eating the vegetables or fruit:

The attitude that animals and other life forms have no soul no feelings and are not intelligent and that humans have the right to torture and murder them horrifies me   

I am not immune to cultural norms

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?

Trees

THERE IS A TREE MEDITATION IN THIS POST

trees

I am frequently told trees are a fire hazard

Trees don’t light: fires – humans do!

Human arsonists have set fire to the side of my property at Goolwa after torching the local bushland.

So the way to stop bushfires would be to get rid of arsonists –not trees

Someone recently said

“trees belong in the bush” (referring to natives)

To which I replied

“they are in the bush –we moved in”

I was on a corner block

The neighbour behind me and to the northeast removed all trees from their properties

and the neighbour next to me chopped down all the trees — the original owner loved trees.

The council  removed a tree  opposite where I lived

It wasn’t in the way of anything –not even impinging on the footpath

After it was chopped three magpies stood by the stump

Their home gone

these babies were “roadkill” a fortnight later — young birds panic when a car is coming at them and dont know which way to move

I am sick of people telling me to get rid of trees.

Trees are essential for the air and soil.

And essential for other life forms

Considering famous people like David Attenborough have been ignored I am not expecting anyone taking notice of me

I think that trees should have been listed as an endangered species a century ago

and a permit required to kill one.

Real-estate development removes millions of trees destroying the homes and food source of other life forms and effecting both the soil and air.

So instead of chopping down trees lets bring in harsher penalties for arsonists.

And build our homes in harmony with the environment.

Oops I forgot: People believe that cultures that live in harmony with the environment and don’t worship money are primitive and therefore inferior.

I no longer belong to “Trees for Life” because they have devolved into an impotent bureaucracy. (we were expected to use poison and to kill nonindigenous plants and animals  — when I questioned “humans” as non-indigenous no one even laughed)

One of my support staff (after i told him this) said — Trees For Life is an oxymoron

Not only do the multinationals rule the world they have the masses “brain washed”.

I have recorded a “Tree Meditation” it is paraphrased form MOTHER WIT by Diane Mariechild (Plant meditiation)

HUG A TREE — ask permission of the tree first

Religion is what influences a culture.

this post was originally entitled “Thank God I am an atheist Pun intended”

When I was young I wondered what was wrong with me because our cultural norms felt so wrong – now that I am older and wiser I know our cultural norms are wrong

When Constantine decided to combine Jesus teachings and Judaism and make it the religion of Rome –there was a meeting in Nicaea to decide what to put in the bible and what to leave out

This religion is responsible for genocide and the extinction of hundreds and thousands of species

“Humans have driven hundreds of thousands of species to extinction. While the IUCN Red List has documented over 900 explicitly confirmed animal and plant extinctions since 1500, scientists estimate that up to several hundred thousand species have been lost to human activities throughout our history.The extinction crisis is driven by habitat destruction, hunting, the introduction of invasive species, and climate change. The true scale of the loss varies depending on the timeframe and methodology:” The Guardian

I respect peoples religious beliefs and won’t argue – several decades ago I made a Jehovah’s Witness lady cry – so promised myself I wouldn’t argue in future

A man who I genuinely like was arguing that someone must have created this world and that I only believe in things that I see  

All I  said to him was –the “only believing in what I see” doesn’t apply to me and that I had studied world religions

I wanted to say but didn’t

“Even if some omnipotent being created this reality why would it insist on being worshipped?”

Monty Python

When walking early this morning one of the residents  knowing I was a vegetarian/vegan told me that god created the animals for us—–

Several of my friends have told me that I am not an athiest

They may be correct:

but I do not really have a god concept:

if I did it would be Pantheism.

Since I was 60 I have gone back to church services a few times because I like the ritual and Jesus teachings.

But the fascism

and people who claim to know God’s will

makes me leave.

One group of ladies came to my house and told me what had to be thrown out.

One was a poster with amazing art work called Astral circus.

They went through my book cases and told me my anthropology books were evil.

I have the greatest respect for Jesus but believe him to be a teacher not a god.

When Constantine decided to combine Jesus teachings and Judaism and make it the religion of Rome –there was a meeting in Nicaea to decide what to put in the bible and what to leave out

If “God” is a loving god why would it desire worship?

Religion is what influences a culture.

Our culture believes other life forms don’t feel and have no soul.

We have destroyed the ecology and continue to make all life extinct.

I tried to practice ahimsa before I was aware of this word and concept:

People ridiculed and abused me for this:

some told me I was anthropomorphising animals and other life forms.

As if I would wish any creature to be human 😛

If we credit some “Being” as having created this reality, this “Being” would have to be a sadistic psychopath.

Every creature has to deprive another life form of its existence in order to survive. ( Its called eating)

Just breathing kills other life forms! As we breathe in micro organisms.

I believe everything that exists has a consciousness: And because of my clairvoyant experiences I believe everything survives beyond physical death.

I asked clairvoyantly about “the meaning of life” which strangely enough isn’t 42 (Hitch Hikers Guide to the Galaxy)

The answer I got was more a concept than words but translated, I was asked if I could conceptualize NO linear time and when I said “No” I was told that “they” couldn’t explain.

VEGAN

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


I found this picture years ago but do not know who to give the credit to.

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.
