ELDER’S LIBERATION

This blog was motivated by someone commenting on Facebook that some elderly people may put the clocks the wrong way with daylight savings stopping.

It is time for Elders Liberation!

In the 1970’s I was in Women’s liberation”.

Women had no rights and no status.

Ones status came from one’s husband.

All women were expected to be virgins and all men were expected to be promiscuous.

I never understood how that worked?!

!cid_76219CA3-0AC6-4C6F-815D-B365B657BA0B

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 Afro -Americans; indigenous Americans and 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 yet I notice young people think we know nothing of sex.

Really!

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.

Lately if someone patronises me I have started saying to  “I am old not stupid!”

I decided to include pictures of older actors that I admire.

I only chose four and there are many more.

Seeing Goldie Hawn’s picture remined me –

In the 1980’s the mother of one of our residents told me that I looked like a young Goldie Hawn.

I never understood why she said this because Goldie and myself would have only been in our thirties then.   And Goldie is only a few years older than me.

 

Happy Easter to everyone—even you young ones. AG00315_

With no disrespect to JC —

All church festivals were once pagan festivals.

Easter being spring equinox dedicated to the goddess Eostar

Do Sociopaths Outnumber Empaths?

albert schweiter

Although I tend not to agree with the “New Age “stuff” one wise young lady suggested that I may be an “empath” and this fits.

I know several people who fit this category.

One of my issues with “New Age” is it has turned spiritual endeavours into the “Protestant Ethic” of money making: The other, it is populated by people who appear to believe utter “bovine faeces”.

This is a broad generalisation any many do “keep it real”.

I “pick up” on people’s feelings and those of other life forms.

When I was a child my mother threatened to have me put in a mental institution because I couldn’t bear to see anything suffer.

I hid a dog in the local church ( which was always unlocked in those days) so it wouldn’t be shot for breaking into the chicken run.

When I was at primary school we were being taught about Albert Schweitzer and our teacher thought him strange because he was upset by moths being attracted to a flame or light. I am the same! At night I make sure the curtains are completely shut so that the light doesn’t attract moths.

I also do my best not to kill anything.

This includes insects and rodents!

I have just seen a post about cruelty to pigs on Facebook and it has motivated me to re write and eventually re publish my fiction e Book.  I am writing this e Book for me.

I do my best not support the drug companies and the meat industry.

There are many horror stories but I will just tell one.

In 1982 the husband of one of my staff, who was carting stock to the abattoirs, asked me to report that suckie calves were left to die of dehydration and starvation:  I phoned  the RSPCA who called me a liar and a trouble maker: I then put something in writing but this was ignored.

I found out from people that work at the abattoirs or visit same that all new borns are left to die this way.

And to my knowledge this still happens.

A friend of my that used to work there told me earlier this century that the drug companies ask for this ( death by starvation and dehydration!) And my podiatrist told me that hormones build up in the tissues when they die this way and the drug companies harvest these.

In the seventies I was in Animal lib: Greenpeace:  and later Trees For Life. I was also in Women’s lib.

Women’s lib has gone to ridiculous extremes:

Animal Lib: Greenpeace and Trees For Life are just impotent bureaucracies: Animals still have no rights: And money is still more important than ecology.

And homo sapiens are way beyond plague proportions.

AG00177_

I haven’t put any clairvoyant stories in my blog of late: this is because I believe it unethical to relate peoples reading—but amazing stuff still happens.

The stories that I can tell are in my non fiction E Book and because I am with Amazon KDP I am legally not allowed to put them anywhere digitally.

I still haven’t the slightest idea about the meaning of life: The closest I can ascertain is that time is a dimension and linear time an illusion?

It doesn’t explain all the cruelty.

Blessed be.

Enjoy your day on this beautiful planet.

The Ramblings of an Old Person

 

11705092_780659772038958_878744170041603148_n

When I was young, after hearing old people go on about the good old days, I promised myself that I would not do this when I was old:  AND I AM NOT!

So much has improved in my life time:

Women now have equal rights and no longer take their status from their husband: (well not everywhere.)

Children have rights and are no longer meant to be “seen and not heard”:

Non-Caucasian races have rights and status:

Non-heterosexual relationships are accepted:

There is religious tolerance: (well not everywhere)

More people care about the ecology of our beautiful planet:

And more people care about non-human life forms:

More people care about trees:

AG00177_

I am starting to realize how old I am and that what younger generations see as history was a current event for me. e.g. I remember the moon landing – I was nine months pregnant.

The good thing about my childhood in South Australia in the 50s and 60s was that the population of Australia went from 9 million to 12 million.

Living in the suburbs in S A was like living in a country town.

I caught the train by myself from Salisbury (which in those days was a quiet country town and not the suburb from hell as it is now) to Gwen Mackey’s ballet school (which was near the Adelaide railway station) from age 8 until age 12. The reason I stopped was that I was sick of exams. Exams at school and exams at ballet!

(The following may sound like I am bragging but I had no self-esteem nor self-confidence because of a life time of abuse, starting when I was a baby, from the person that gave birth to me.)

In primary school I was always near the top of the class: My friend who I still keep in touch with (although she now lives in Canada) always came top. I came second in grade six but the other years I would usually be about  6th. We had large classes often sixty children in a class.

In the nineteen sixties children were allocated (from primary school) to an high school or a technical school after sitting an I Q test.

Then in high school we were designated into classes A B C or D

I was in “A” class and the girls in “A” class studied Latin instead of “Domestic Arts” (Home Economics)

In fourth year high school, I was made a school prefect.

sals high 1

I worked with computers that were the size of wardrobes in refrigerated rooms.

I worked on a switch board typing telegrams that were dictated to me.

I operated a telex that transmitted the news to radio and tv stations around Australia.

And there is more  😛

but fortunately I wont bore you with it.

 

I have confidence in the younger generation and  believe some of them will help heal our beautiful planet.

A friend now deceased used to say “There are always : The good: The bad: and the indifferent.” It is so true!

Blessed be

Enjoy your day

 

I have included some of my personal history in this E book which I hope to have printed: It explains how I know that I am really communicating with people that are no longer in this reality or this part of linear time. ( I don’t claim to understand the nature of reality) Check it out. You are able to read a sample for free.

 

 

Why Are We Here?

WP_20180301_09_11_07_Pro

 

I haven’t the foggiest idea but you may understand why I chose that as a title, later.

If I were paranoid I would think that there was a conspiracy by humans to destroy the planet as quickly as possible!

The drought in South Africa should be a wakeup call that humans are beyond plague proportions and wasteful of the planets resources. Why don’t we change?

Most people have thier sewage pumped out to sea. When I was a child I asked about this and was told that it evaporates and comes back to us as rain. How much does?

WATER IS ESSENTIAL

Trees are chopped down for housing development: farming; mining: etc.

People chopped down tress because the leaves fall on there lawn or concrete. Because they claim the roots are destroying the plumbing; the branches are touching the roof of the house. Or – trees are a fire hazard! No arsonists are a fire hazard!

TREES ARE ESSENTIAL

Humans kill other life forms because they can.

Insects and retiles because they don’t like them.

Mice and rats because they are vermin?

And where I live Corellas because they are noisy: Humans have destroyed most of the trees these birds can eat so they will soon be extinct.

We take the homes and food sources from all other life forms so eventually almost all other life forms will be extinct.

OTHER LIFE FORMS ARE ESSENTIAL TO THE PLANET’S ECOLOGY

Humans run wildlife over for fun.

Humans factory farm and mass slaughter livestock: When I comment about this I am told “That is why we grow them!”

So why are humans grown?

We experiment on animals and when I have commented on this I am told it helps find cures for humans (who are apparently the only species that matter?)

In 1982 the husband of one of my staff who was carting stock to the abattoirs asked me to report that suckie calves were left to die of dehydration starvation: I reported this to the RSPCA who called me a trouble maker and a liar.

To my knowledge this still happens:

I was told that all new borns are left to die this way: And a friend who worked at the abattoirs told  me that the drug companies ask for this: My podiatrist told me that  hormones build in the tissue when they die this way and the drug companies harvest them.

 

HUMANS ARE NOT ESSENTIAL

I question whether we are actually indigenous to this planet?

I theorized in one of my non fiction books that we were genetically engineered by E T’s using orangutan and pig DNA  and grown in a bovine’s womb. Some one said that there was a reference to us being genetically engineered in Mayan writings but I have never found this.

I googled Amazon and my non fiction eBook on my iPad and noticed that there were ads for “on line” readings under this!

These are not with me!

This is misleading advertising

Not happy.

A couple of people have commented that Amazon don’t accept PayPal:

Before more businesses accepted PayPal I would buy a visa card (from the supermarket or P.O.) to use on line. I am sure most people think of this option.

If you click above my not so recent photo ( once you are at this web page) you will be able to read a sample of the book for free:

 

 

 

Equal Rights For Women

 

suffragette

I was in Women’s Lib in the seventies because women had no rights and no status.

If a woman was brave enough to accuse a man of rape the lawyers would say that she was a slut and asked for it. The joke back than was that there was no such thing as rape!

“A woman can run faster with her dress up than a man with his pants down”

When this witch hunt started I was pleased that women were believed and the abuse acknowledge.

Things have  gone to ridiculous extremes:

I personally do not believe  that some of the more recent accusations are true.

 

People will argue there must be some truth to this or the women wouldn’t be saying so. (“Where there is smoke there is fire!”)

People tell lies that have no basis in truth to get attention.

I know because I have been a victim of this.

Equal rights for women should have been a good thing.

Humans mess everything up.

Hypothetical

The following remark  is “Tongue in cheek” = an ironic manner, not meant to be taken seriously.

bringers

The longer I live the more I think Barbara Marciniak’s theories in “Bringers of the Dawn” are true!  That we are are controlled and manipulated by beings who feed off the emotions of fear and trauma!

picture-of-reptilian-alien-thumb

Looking back on my own life all the positive changes that caring people try to make are thwarted– I was in Women’s Liberation because women had no rights and no status – All we wanted was to be treated as equals but now things have gone to such extremes men require liberating.

 

The groups that I belonged to, campaigning for animal rights or the ecology have been turned into impotent bureaucracies who not only achieve nothing but often make things worse!

 

Having been a victim of abuse from being a baby ( NOT by my father who was a wise and wonderful man) I am the first to applaud children being told they are not allowed to be abused but this has gone to the extreme where incorrigible brats cannot be disciplined!

 

The media feeds us violence via the news; movies and probably reality tv shows ( I have never watch a soapie or a reality tv show so cannot accurately comment.)

What about the violence in computer games !!!!?

Historically speaking original thinkers and those who questioned the status quo were put to death. Now social taboos and stigma prevents original thinkers from making the world a better place. At age seven it seemed to me that all so called problems were easily solved not realizing that money and multi nationals were omnipotent.

And then there are wars:  the threat of nuclear holocaust – or germ warfare:

There is the torture and mistreatment of other life forms by the meat industry, drug companies and cosmetic companies.

The destruction of wildlife and their habitat for property development and mining.

This is a beautiful planet. Why are we destroying it?

AG00177_

If you don’t already send healing to the planet, would you? From a sociological and psychic point of view that more people want things to change, the more likely it is to happen.

My “Bucket List” is to heal the planet. Not exactly achievable! So I wrote a sci fi E Book entitled  “A Short Story About Healing The Blue Planet”  Maybe it will be sympathetic magic?

 

 

The Only Thing Necessary for the Triumph of Evil is that Good Men Do Nothing. John F. Kennedy? Continued:

I wont rehash what I wrote about the meat industry and the drug companies letting new born’s die of dehydration and starvation. It is in the previous blog.

calf

I was in Animal Liberation & Green Peace in the 1970’s and Trees for Life a decade or so later. Sadly these organisations have become impotent bureaucracies, achieving nothing.

Not their fault.

The multinationals have the power: and control our “culture”. The chances of beating them seems  Buckley’s or none!

But people who actually care about animals can boycott companies that mistreat them.

ag00209_

I will be listing the cosmetic and other companies that test on animals.

ag00208_

With the meat industry: I am not telling people to go vegan: but that would be great 😀

If you wish to eat meat ask for free range.

AG00205_  AG00211_

If possible don’t support the drug companies.

Find a good naturopath that is skilled in Chinese medicine.

And or go herbal.

Now if there was such a thing as karma — or “what goes around comes around” the people that own or work for these multinationals would be being tortured to death as  I type!

 

The following companies still test on animals! This is for Australia. You can Google for your own country if you do not live Down Under.

If you care; do not support these companies. This is a suggestion. I don’t tell people what to do even and especially when I am doing a clairvoyant reading.

And now for my E book ad—

Thinking of asking someone like Joss Whedon to make it a movie— (I’m joking)  😛

In primary school the class was asked to write an essay entitled “My Wish”

I wrote that I wished people would care more about looking after nature and the planet than money.

Seeing that this is never going to happen in my life time or possibly ever!

I wrote this short story for myself and as sympathetic magick
