Thank God I am an Atheist: Pun Intended

This re blog was motivated by someone trying to convert me to their religion

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

The 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?”

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.

After Constantine stopped throwing Christians to the lions and made Christianity the religion of Rome there was a meeting at Nicaea to decide what to leave in the bible and what to take 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.

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 only 7.4 billion:

(1st published 4th April 2017)

It is now  8 billion.

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

I wrote this as social satire and sympathetic magic

I realize my writing style doesn’t fit what people expect

My excuse –I majored in sociology not literature 😛

I wanted to put my idea that humans are not indigenous to the planet

A few lines  from this short story:

“Most humans think that those who live in harmony with the environment are primitive and inferior. Actually they don’t think.

They just mindlessly conform to what those in power and their entertainment media tell them.

 They are really stupid but consider themselves superior to all other life forms because they talk:

They think if something or someone doesn’t talk they don’t understand.They thoughtlessly destroy everything. They call some creatures vermin, when humans are the vermin. They kill insects and destroy all the trees despite the fact that insects and trees are

essential.

And everything literally goes down the drain polluting the oceans instead of nourishing other life.”

RE INCARNATION

Watch the second video –fast forward one hour and nine minutes to Gwen McDonald –this is the most amazing

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?)

FOLLOWING IS A PAST LIFE REGRESSION/MEDITATION

If you don’t “see” just trust the concepts that come into your head

I have used this “meditation” with my Wiccan groups

and my psychic development groups

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.

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 took this on Kangaroo Island last century

 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

The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece

but a true story. I majored in sociology not literature

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)

CLAIRVOYANCE

PREVIOUSLY ENTITLED LIFE AFTER DEATH

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW

I have several friends who are amazing clairvoyant mediums and also friends who use divination for readings and because they are unable to communicate with those not in this reality/linear time they do not believe it possible – I understand this

People tend to believe that a belief in God and heaven is necessary for a belief in an “afterlife”

Surviving death isn’t synonymous with a religious belief.

We do not understand the nature of reality.

(or at least I don’t)

It appears we exist in an alternate reality when we are “not here”! In this reality the electrons are apparently moving at a different speed around the protons and neutrons so it is out of phase. ( This is my very limited understanding of quantum physics)

Another misconception is that people have to be “earth bound” to communicate with the living:

NOT SO!

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.

We may all be in a huge holodeck:

As suggested by Star Trek Next Generation —

And  “What The Bleep”

“Ship In A Bottle” season six — Star Trek Next Geneeration

In the “special features” of What the “Bleep” they mention that Professor WilliamTiller gives the mathematical constructs of a hologram that we “are” living in.

(William A. Tiller is a professor emeritus of materials science and engineering at Stanford University)

Until the following I suspected clairvoyance was wishful thinking and vivid imagination

The incident that convinced me that clairvoyance was a reality happened at work. I was a student nurse at Strathmont Centre.  I was washing dishes with a male staff nurse. We didn’t have kitchen hands in those days.  Kym was six feet tall and rather heavy set and had long blonde hair. A man (deceased) flashed in (when I see or hear things they flash in a fraction of a second) He had Kym’s high forehead and similar features but wore a suit with a crepe ribbon and a cross and had a short back and sides haircut and dark hair.

I asked Kym if his father was a minister. He asked me why and initially I would not answer. I eventually told him what I saw and Kym told me that it was his uncle. He asked me what denomination his uncle was.

I did not know.

After Kym left the kitchen I asked his uncle, whom I could no longer “see”, what he had died of.  The words were that fast all I could make out was sclerosis. Because we were with the intellectually disabled I thought “tubular sclerosis?” Then I realized it was multiple sclerosis.

 When we were having a tea break Kym told me that his uncle died of multiple sclerosis. I was amazed and said that his uncle had “told” me this!

Kym said “Get more”! I informed him that I couldn’t.

But I saw panama hats and monkeys. I said “He was a missionary in South America” Kym said “Yes”. I then saw masks and a jungle and said he was also a missionary in New Guinea. Kym told me this wasn’t so.  When Kym came to work the next day, he said that his mother had confirmed that her brother was a missionary in New Guinea. This showed that I wasn’t just reading Kim’s mind.

MOTHE’S DAY MAKES ME CRY

It is MOTHERS DAY in Australia

Mother’s day was originally to celebrate the mother goddess

When the Romans introduced Christianity they could not get rid of the pagan festivals so every church festival was originally  a pagan festival

ANU -from irish-at -heart

I do not object to those who had loving mothers celebrating Mother’s Day

Actually I just cry and wish that my mother had loved me

So many of our culture’s accepted architypes and norms are not true

One is that mothers love their children

There are many of us who were not loved by our mothers–many more than I originally thought.

Some whose mothers didn’t love them are fortunate to have a spouse that does –others go through life never being loved

I thought my mother most beautiful and intelligent,

So it must be because “I am useless a failure a disappointment neither use nor ornament –cannot do anything right” that she didn’t love me

  (This she told me regularly and reinforced by making me do everything at least 10 times –and still not right – when I was young –and constantly criticising me when I was an adult)

It is hard to love oneself when one has never been loved

(I have the best children and grandchildren so I am loved but it doesnt help me love myself)

I am in my 70s I still have no self confidence and constantly criticize myself

This year I had been trying to love and forgive her– never lasts – not long before I am reminded of her lies.

Psychologists tell us to try and understand what a parent’s life was like.

They also say “Go to a time and place when you felt safe” – there isn’t one

I have flash backs to when I was still in my cot

Imagine what it is like for a child whose mother would just change into a screaming bashing psycho without warning

When my first child was born – her advice was – “if she cries put her in her cot:

  shut the door

 and let her cry herself to sleep “

I didn’t follow this advice

Must have happened to me but I don’t remember

I was never hugged

I have blocked out a lot of my abuse but somethings will occasionally trigger a flashback.

When  I was already going to school my mother pushed me into the wood burning part of the wood stove when it was lit and shut the door: She then pulled me out: wrapped me in a blanket and told people that she had saved my life after I crawled in. I had first degree burns.

When I was ten my mother was bashing me with a scrubbing brush and had also washed my mouth out with soap.

 I said to her “I haven’t done anything wrong”

 and she told my that she just felt like bashing me.

 Despite this, for over half a century I believed that I deserved abuse because this is what everyone told me.

“YOU MUST HAVE DESERVED IT”

This century her physical abuse was limited to slapping me across the face when she felt like it

When my Dad was dying I took her to the hospital every day and we stayed for most of the day.                         

 I had been helping the morning shift and when the roster changed Mother went crying to the RN who came back and glared at me.

When we collected Dad’s things after he died this RN told me off for abusing my mother!

My Dad was a lovely person but was never allowed to pay me any attention or my mother would have a screaming fit.

 On his death bed he asked me to look after her.

 I did so, not just because I had promised Dad that I would but because I was hoping that my mother would love me and be nice to me.

NEVER HAPPENED

She would say nice things about me to people that knew me and tell these lies to people that didn’t

Sometimes the stories would come back to me:
othertimes I would wonder why people were being nasty to me for no reason

She would tell lies about how horrible dad was or how horrible I was to her and most people believed her

I was almost 64 when she died so I am not going to rave on about a life time of her abuse

It would fill a large book

  Toward the end she wasn’t allowed to be alone so until I got her a placement in the nursing home she stayed with me – I slept on the couch an gave her my bed

It was difficult to get a placement for her because nursing homes liked people to have an house to sell as a deposit

Mum had an housing trust unit – which she insisted I keep paying the rent on because she thought she would go back.

When I eventually found her a placement in a local nursing home her clothes had to have name tags pressed on. She apologised to the staff for my being too lazy to sew them on. Although this time her attempt at insulting me didn’t work the staff just presumed it was her age!

ELDER’S LIBERATION

This blog was motivated by a something that an 84 year old lady told me

The CEO of an in home help company was coming to see this older lady and she told the CEO that she wasn’t available after 2-45-pm (1445) and this CEO arrived at 3pm (1500)

My friend had a dental appointment

The attitude and manner of this CEO implied that  my friend didn’t know what she was talking about

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.

goldie hawn

michael caine

shiley naclaine                                            robert deniro

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.

One of the most common translations of namasté is “The divine light in me bows to the divine light within you.”

ANZACS

for the fallen

We used to say “For The Fallen” at school assembly

Always brings tears 😦

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

On the morning of 25 April 1915, Allied forces landed on the Gallipoli peninsula in Ottoman Turkey. The British Army landed at Cape Helles. Troops of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) landed north of Gaba Tepe (Kabatepe) headland, on a beach later called ‘Anzac Cove’.

We used to say “For The Fallen” at school assembly

Always brings tears 😦

 I remember a teacher telling us that from a strategic view point the Aussies and New Zealanders were considered gun  fodder

WE WILL REMEMBER THEM

THANKING OUR BODY PLUS CHAKRA BALANCING

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 😛

Most chakra balancing that you will find online start at the base and work up

This one which I have been using since 1978 starts at the crown and works downward ending with “grounding”

 The sound is poor on this (don’t know why) 

so you will have to turn it up -sorry

“The Medium is the Massage” with apologies to Marshall McLuchan.

media massage

This blog isn’t about the book, although it was required reading when I was a teachers college in the nineteen seventies.

I actually chose it because I just couldn’t think of an appropriate title for this blog.

I have avoided reading or watching the news for decades and rarely have the television on.

Last century I would be abused for not “taking an interest in current affairs”.

The media doesn’t necessarily give us accurate information.

Reporting crime in detail and ad nauseum causes the increase of crime from both a socio psychological point of view and from a “magical” point of view.

Multinationals rule the world and the media only tells the masses what the “powers that be” want us to know.

An acquaintance of mine who was a Spiritualist minister was interviewed by one of our television stations in the 1970’s. They edited the interview to make her look stupid.

Early this century a friend’s son fell off the balcony of the local pub after drinking too much at “Schoolies”.  Because his mother considered it more important to get him into an ambulance than speaking to the media they published a story saying that this boy had tried to commit suicide.

And then there was Lindy Chamberlain whose life the media ruined.

I was abused for defending her;

The mindless masses said

”She doesn’t cry!”

“A dingo wouldn’t kill a baby”

The media blames cats for killing wildlife:

Real-estate development, mining and humans generally are responsible for making non human life extinct.

More than 8 billion humans make up 99 percent of the planets population and we are destroying the homes and food sources of all other creatures.

As humans believe that humans are the only species that matters, we will soon make all life extinct, including ourselves.

In the1990’s when the so called new age stuff became popular a television station ( at a wiccan conference) asked to interview me because I was an high priestess

A radio station left a message on my answering machine to interview me re clairvoyance

And a magazine wanted to interview me regarding clairvoyance

I refused all three

The media/movies also has the average mindless automaton believing that attractive people are intelligent and the good guys which is dangerous because psychopaths are often very attractive people

We are programmed to believe that money is all that matters

And objects that are status symbols are important

not yours4

Blessed be

and be kind to non human life forms.

Magic

From “on line” Dictionary –
magic

“/ˈmadʒɪk/Submit

noun

1.

the power of apparently influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.

“suddenly, as if by magic, the doors start to open”

******************

The first page of my Book of Shadows which was started in 1983

WP_20171121_12_35_29_Pro

“Eight words the Wiccan Rede  fulfil

An it HARM NONE

Do what thou will”

Despite training “would be witches” last century and earlier this century I stopped believing that we create our own reality.

I now acknowledge that we do but that there are other variables influencing this:

not the least being the thoughts and words of other homo sapiens.

Plus we are programmed to believe we have no control over our lives and  that there are experts –

(Ex spurts = unknown drips under pressure)

that know better than  us

Hence the Witches Pyramid “says” To know: to Dare: to Will and TO KEEP SILENT

I used to tell neophytes that it is intent that matters and emotion that empowers.

We draw energy by chanting and dancing (the cone of power).

Most people would be aware of the idea of a self fulfilling prophecy:

“A self-fulfilling prophecy is a prediction that directly or indirectly causes itself to become true, by the very terms of the prophecy itself, due to positive feedback between belief and behaviour.” Wikipedia

self fulfilling prophecy

The power of suggestion –When I am in too much pain to cope or my anxiety disorder kicks in I say to my self “RELAX” and “SMILE”.

Try saying smile to yourself and see what happens 😀

Another thing about magic is

 that it our subconscious

–we witches  call younger self

–that communicates with our higher self—

which I personally call my true self

and our subconscious takes everything literally

 any good psychologist or hypnotherapist will tell you this

Since I was seven I remember being able to sense my
“true self”

this is difficult to explain

it isn’t like transactional analysis — It doesn’t  feel like a “parent” or “adult”

but something wise and powerful

I am mentioning it because I know others feel this

I believe that our culture programmes us to feel powerless –

But won’t go off on a tangent about this

There is so much available on magic and spells these days:

My favourite is Marion Weinstein’s  “Positive Magic”

And the following  is a quote from Doreen Valiente’s “Natural Magic”:

“Believe in the possibility of what you intend to do, hold it strongly in your mind, and it will happen.”

A spell  from my very old book of shadows.

When I collect the leaves from the Bay Laurel I thank both the tree and the leaves. I may seem weird to others but I don’t care.

Bay Leaf Spell

Prepare a container with live coals or charcoal blocks:

Scatter crumbled bay leaves over them:

concentrate on the wish you are making:

Chant:

“Bay leaf burn fire

Draw to me my heart’s desire.”

Speak of your wish aloud:

And repeat the ritual thrice.

I just wish I could wiggle my nose like Samantha  and the house would be clean and dishes washed  😛

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 only 7.4 billion:

(1st published 4th April 2017)

It is now  8 billion.

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

I wrote this as social satire and sympathetic magic

I realize my writing style doesn’t fit what people expect

My excuse –I majored in sociology not literature 😛

I wanted to put my idea that humans are not indigenous to the planet

A few lines  from this short story:

“Most humans think that those who live in harmony with the environment are primitive and inferior. Actually they don’t think.

They just mindlessly conform to what those in power and their entertainment media tell them.

They are really stupid but consider themselves superior to all other life forms because they talk:

They think if something or someone doesn’t talk they don’t understand.

They thoughtlessly destroy everything. They call some creatures vermin, when humans are the vermin. They kill insects and destroy all the trees despite the fact that insects and trees are essential.

And everything literally goes down the drain polluting the oceans instead of nourishing other life.”

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

The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece

but a true story. I majored in sociology not literature

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)
