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 opposed to absolute ideologies (fascism) so I do not impose my ideas on others.

But I am tired of others imposing their views on me.

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

NAMASTE

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.

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

 

AHIMSA

I tried my best to practice ahimsa before I was aware of this word/concept

Impossible in a culture that believes only humans have a soul and only money matters

from Facebook

As a child I got a bashing for not wanting to eat meat:

The same meal served to me for breakfast lunch and tea until I ate it:

And my mother threatened to have me put in a mental institution

I believe everything that exists has a consciousness and I respect and give thanks to everything I use

And of course I talk to  plants

I wish I was still living in my house by the sea with trees and wildlife— it was a sanctuary of life

we were recently informed that pest control were putting out baits (in this retirement village) to kill rats — to keeps snakes away

Rats have every right to be here

And speaking from personal experience snakes move away from us

from a sociological viewpoint the more people that want change the more likeloy it is to happen

and attitudes have certainly improved since the 1970s

when vegans and vegetarians were ridiculed and abused and the original Greenpeace which was concerned about the ecology was labelled a dangerous radical group

taken by me on Kangaroo island last century

I wrote and published this sci fi short story a few years ago when the human population was only 7.4 billion:

(1st published 4th April 2017)

It is now mor than 8 billion.

Our cultural norms and the Protestant Ethic are causing the extinction of all life.

HALLOWEEN/MAY DAY

Mayday

On the first of May it is actually Samhain/Halloween in the southern hemisphere

The sabbats are seasonal:

in the northern hemisphere it is Beltane (MayDay)

Samhain is the witches New Year

Wiccan 2nd 0001

This is me at the very first Australian Wiccan conference in 1984. At spring equinox:

Where I heard the song “Burning Times” by Charlie Murphy

This version is by Spiral Dance:

Enjoy your celebrations:

Blessed Be

and be kind and respectful of non human life forms

–the continued existence of all life depends on it

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

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:

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.”

RE INCARNATION

As you can see this is an old book of mine:

Australian psychologist and hypnotherapist, Peter Ramster created a television documentary in 1981 He also wrote a book that was published in 1980 Called “The Truth About Reincarnation” where he regresses subjects to past lives for which  he is able to check details.

The following video is an hour and three quarters

If you don’t want to watch it all fast forward an hour and nine minutes to Gwen McDonald –this is the most amazing

I have experienced many past life regressions am only going to share the first one and a funny one:

The first past life regression that I experienced was at a psychic group at Kent Town SA. (I think it was 1980)

Instead of a guided meditation the man running this group took us back to our very last life.

Only four of us achieved this and everyone else complained that it was supposed to be a meditation.

I wrote mine down in an exercise book as soon as I got home.  I kept this book for years but it disappeared last century when my 2nd husband moved out. Pity!

I still remember much of the information from this regression.

I was an American Marine in Borneo either during or just after the Second World War. At the time I had no idea the war went to Borneo. I checked all the information that I could in the library. I also didn’t like the “Yanks” back then so had no desire to be one. I have since visited the USA and know how friendly and welcoming Americans are.

I died when the b12 I was in (I was the gunnner; not the pilot) was shot down.

(This sensation of spinning downwards to my death was brought back to me in my present life when a pilot friend took me up in a Victor (two seater aeroplane)  cut the motors and spun the plane downwards without warning me. -He was trying to show off.)

 I was 19; male and the middle child of three boys. My name was Harold. I saw my home but not my parents. 

As I was born this life in February 1949 I would have come straight back after I died. But knowing that I do not understand the nature of reality and accepting that linear time is an illusion anything is possible.

A friend of mine took me to a past life.

I was walking toward a well in a cobblestone courtyard.

As soon as I appeared everyone else scattered.

Immediately I came back to waking reality and couldn’t stop laughing.

I said “I don’t know who I was but they didn’t like me.” (I may have been a leper?)

I believe the regression is possible because linear time is an illusion

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.

Please respect non humans

ASTRAL PROJECTION

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
