AHIMSA – In a culture that believes only humans matter

When I walked this morning there was a snail squashed on the foot path –it really upset me especially as there was nothing I could do to help

When I was younger I thought that I was insane because I cared about other life forms

Probably because my mother threatened to have me put in a mental hospital because I didn’t want to eat meat

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

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 fed the local birds for 25 years when i lived at Goolwa –not accptable now that I am in a retirement village

When i lived in Goolwa mindless automatons told me

“Do not to feed the birds -they are meant  to find their own food”

It doesn’t occur to them that the human plague  (of 8.2 Billion) has destroyed the homes and food sources of all other life – making so many extinct.

The larger birds (carnivores) kill the smaller birds for food because thanks to homo sapiens there are not enough mice worms  or small reptiles for them to eat

A couple of years back in Australia they started culling the kookaburras to stop them killing the smaller birds

taken by my grandson

I feed the crows too –one neighbour complained about their noise

The other told me that she likes the Ibis but not the crow.

Crows like many other life forms are disliked because of cultural programming

The crow I fed, fed the baby before she? fed  herself

I wasn’t able to take a photo because the baby flew away when I walk outside – came back when I went in.

Humans have this effect on me — have said I am anthrophobic for decades – don’t think it is an actual word)

It upsets me that people use poisons and insecticides

from collective conservation

And label rats and mice vermin

And then there are kangaroos which most farmers consider vermin and kill them

taken by me on Kangaroo island last century

In the 1970s I was a member of  the original Greenpeace

We were labelled dangerous radicals

I was ridiculed and abused for being  in Animal Liberation and a vegetarian

This has changed

These days I am abused for caring about insects moths and spiders

And told that insects are vermin and dangerous to my health

Humans are dangerous–

from Facebook

Considering all the positive changes in my life time I am optimistic that

the caring, intelligent people will prevail and stop all life from becoming extinct.

Enjoy your day

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.

I wrote this as social satire and sympathetic magic

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

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

The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece

but a true story.

I don’t 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

HALLOWEEN/MAY DAY

from Facebook

It is Beltane here “Down Under”

The sabbats are seasonal:

so in the southern hemisphere it is Beltane (MayDay)

In the northern hemisphere it is Samhain (Halloween)

Beltane was a fertility festival where the villages would come together:

This way “in- breeding” – in the same village was lessened.

A child conceived at Beltane was considered special.

We witches in the days before Wicca became popular; and before “political correctness” ;

jokingly called it the “Nookie Festival.”

Bright Nookie!  😀

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

THE ONLY TRUE WISDOM IS IN KNOWING YOU KNOW NOTHING–Socrates

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW

What the bleep has been around for more than two decades

It covers quantum physics and neuro physiology

In this movie they explained that if we don’t have a concept of something it doesn’t exist for us

It occurred to me that some people who are told that they are hallucinating are seeing things others cannot see because they don’t have a concept for 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”

AHIMSA

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.

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.

A SHORT STORY ABOUT HEALING THE  BLUE PLANET

 I wrote and published this sci fi short story on the 4th April 2017  when the human population was only 7.4 billion:

It is now more than 8 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 started writing the prequel the same year 2017 –but I still haven’t finished it – I lose my motivation because I don’t like scary stuff and it is where humans are grown as live stock by the “gods” –maybe I’ll finish it this year

WESTERN MEDICINE

There are excellent doctors and nurses but generally speaking the medical system is set up to  support the drug companies and isn’t concerned about helping people

The success of any treatment or drug is at least twenty five percent placebo effect

Check out doctorsaredangerous.com —-when I paste the link the page opens and I don’t want this here but will put at the end

Chinese medicine teats cancer like the flu

I’ve just started watching New Amsterdam again on Netflix

I’d rather be doing house work but as usual pain and other health stuff is forcing me to rest

I like New Amsterdam it covers real issues that I can relate to from working in the system

I have worked with excellent doctors and nurses but as Jockko Sims character says

“you know the whole system is rigged

— they are not going to let you come here and just help people”

Despite more than half a century of medical and surgical mistakes and being treated like I am an attention seeking hypochondriac I didn’t spit the dummy until August 2021 – telling both my doctor and cardiologist I wanted nothing more to do with western medicine

I do not trust the medical system

Because

it is controlled by drug companies that only care about profit not people:

In medical centres  there is not enough time allotted to each patient hence production line people

Hospitals are “total institutions”

A person’s rights are taken from them and they are in the hands of people whose goal is to get rid of their nuisance value

This is because staff  to patient ratio isn’t adequate

And then there is NOCEBOS — “pointing the bone”

(e.g. — you have less than six months to live)

some doctors have a patronising attitudes to patients:

There is always the good the bad and the indifferent:

 The bad and indifferent are dangerous in an health system

I am am not an organ donor because I am aware that

if you have a 50% chance of survival and you are an organ donor — kiss your chances good bye.

I do not trust nor support western medicine

for a variety of reasons: –

i had PND with both pregnancies

With the second pregnancy I could feel the chemical change —the doctor said “You have nothing to be depressed about Go home and snap out of it”

I suffer from medical and surgical mistakes:

Including two major traumas

Came to under anaesthetic in 1974

Next time I had minor exploratory surgery –1992 – I came to with the bed perpendicular horrific chest pains and was told that they nearly didn’t get me back

Had a gynea repair in 2007 which I still suffer pain and problems from

It wasn’t until 2011 that a doctor took the trouble to find out what was wrong

She told me that the gynaecologist that performed my surgery had been reported for making mistakes before but was still practicing

At the beginning of this century I was put on triple the normal dose of meclobomide straight up  — after being on this drug for several years a doctor told me that I should not be on an anti psychotic

I was put on  tramadol and ignored for several years when I said I felt like the walking dead

I have had breathing difficulties for well over a decade and until 2020  told there was nothing the matter

But when I had an angiogram after an heart attack the cardiologist said my breathing difficulties were not related to my heart condition

I was diagnosed with diverticulitis in the early 1990s yet after I moved to Goolwa

 I would go to the doctors telling them I had diverticulitis and I was either completely ignored or told that I didn’t

–it wasn’t until a CT scan in 2011 which confirmed io had diverticulitis that the doctors took any notice

And there’s more

A friend now deceased went to the doctors on numerous occasions saying she wasn’t well and they told her nothing was the matter

When her cancer was diagnosed she was told “If you came here sooner we could have done something”

I am aware of numerous people that have died because of medical and surgical mistakes:

some were friends or acquaintances:

some were related to people I have done clairvoyant readings for.

Both my parents died of a continuous high dose of morphine:

their death certificated said heart attack

Dad said that he didn’t want morphine and they ignored him

Mum complained it made her too dizzy and they ignored her.

When I tell people that patients are deliberately put on an high dose of morphine which stops the oxygen flow to the heart  as euthanasia they don’t believe me

Doctors are taught Freudian psychology

This affects the way some doctors treat women

Freud says that all women are neurotic And have penis envy

His test subjects were  twelve middle class Jewish women

The majority of doctors are controlled by drug companies

Drug companies are horrifically cruel to animals:

Not just when testing drugs but when making same.

One example that I am sure few people are aware of:

They have the abattoirs leave all new borns to die of dehydration and starvation so they can harvest the hormones that this death produces.

How do I know this?

In 1982 the husband of a staff member asked that I report to the RSPCA that new born calves were left to die of dehydration and starvation:

The RSPCA staff called me a liar and a trouble maker:

I put something in writing and it was ignored.

Presumably the RSPCA is funded by drug companies and the meat industry.

Over the years since,

I have learned from people who work at the abattoirs or collect stock from them

that all new borns are left to die this way and that the drug companies ask for it.

It was my podiatrist who told me why –“The drug companies harvest the hormones produces when animals die this way.”  

I presume most people know how drug companies collect Premarin = pregnant mares urine?

Another reason

Western medicine treats symptoms

not the cause

Long ago

when I dispensed drugs from the old fashion drug trolley

I noticed that I was giving one drug then another to compensate for the side effects

e.g. antispychotics cause pseudo Parkinsonism.

hence I gave out another drug for Parkinsonism.

I like “New Amsterdam”

And the movie “The Doctor”

they highlight mistakes

and that some doctors care more about advancing their career than caring for patients.

Western medicine came into being at the time of the “Inquisition”

when village herbalists were executed and replaced by male doctors.

Eastern medicine diagnoses using iridology and kinesiology

and treats with acupuncture and herbal remedies.


I was including this Monty Python sketch to highlight doctor’s attitude to patients but it reminded me of humorous events

I was working in a general hospital when Monty Pythons Meaning of Life was in the cinemas:

One doctor would say “Bring in the machine that goes Ping”

And one of the charge nurses when coming on duty would say “morning
 morning”  –like fish scene.

Be well

be happy

VEGAN

I am so happy to know that so many humans care about other life forms

I have been vegetarian since the 1970s and when I was younger used to cook meat for my family but this century I have refused to cook meat


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.

I didn’t insist my family were vegetarian

I would make a vegetarian dish to share

and also cook meat.

If I ate meat I would have nightmares 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 nightmares 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:

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.

Animal Liberation told me to write to my politician.

Nothing.

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.

People just don’t want to know.

SAW THIS ON FACEBOOK — THIS IS ALSO MY OPINION

Namaste

and be kind to non humans

WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS

MISCONCEPTIONS

I realize some people still equate witches with evil people who sacrifice animals.

Not us!

I became interested in Wicca in the 1970s because it was a philosophy that cared about the environment and other life forms

LOVE AND RESPECT MOTHER EARTH

I liked Buddhism but found that Australian Buddhists changed Buddhism to suit their WASP philosophies

The few Wiccans I knew back then certainly cared about the environment

I was a member of the original Greenpeace and we were labelled a dangerous radical group because we advocated for the environment

Me when I was teaching “would be witches” in 2001 -age 52

My tradition is Alexandrian/Gardenarian and we work sky clad

I became interested in the 1970’s – my first degree initiation was 1983

This is the first page of  my Book of Shadows started in 1983

WP_20200311_11_03_23_Pro

“Eight words the Wiccan Rede fulfil

An it harm NONE

Do what thou will”

The concept that witches were evil began at the inquisition when the Church of Rome was trying to get rid of  the Old Religion and the women herbalists.

witch hunts

The Satanists, who we are sometimes equated with, got their ideas from Malleus Maleficarum,

which is about  how to torture people to get them to say they worship the devil and not about witchcraft as it says if you Google!

Our rituals are similar to American Indian rituals –at least the one I am aware of, which is Sioux tradition.

After telling a friend that I used to lecture on Wicca

I told her that in the 1990s when it was becoming popular it attracted a lot of people to training courses

Her reply was “you must have made a lot of money

WE DID NOT CHARGE

Neophytes were asked to donate for candles and incense.

Back to witches not being evil.

I will not kill anything — Not spiders: mice: insects: trees –

I believe everything that exists has consciousness and deserves respect.

I have cried on many occasions because I haven’t been able to save a bird: animal or  reptile that had been  hit by a car – at least I move them off the road so that they are not continuously run over.

I get upset when moths throw themselves at the window to get to the light.

This doesn’t mean there are not people out there calling themselves witches and killing animals.

Male witches are called witches,

so if someone claims to be a warlock be suspicious.

***

The following words had different meanings once:

Wicca meant wise or to bend

Heathen = dweller on the heath

Pagan = village dweller

Weird = magic

Sinister = left-handed

***

Blessed be

and be kind to non humans

Me at the first Australian Wiccan conference

P.S. I’ve just returned from the dining room in the retirement village where I live

 People at my table were discussing a poison that kills snails but not rats

It upsets and infuriates me that humans think they have the right kill other life forms      

I should have called this book LIFE AFTER DEATH as my experiences convinced me that this life isn’t all that there is – mind you the last time I posted a blog with this title it only got 2 likes – guess I am threatening the status quo

The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece

THANKS TO THE FLOWER POWER GENERATION

A post my daughter sent me (saying you will never be as cool as your grandmother) motivated me to write this.

These days the younger generation think they are shocking me by saying that they are gay or bi or walk around their house naked.

 Seriously I am Flower Power Generation

My Wiccan tradition works skyclad (naked):

When I used  to go to our local nudist beach: people would be both disgusted and horrified.

Maslin Beach

I would say “Yes! If God wanted us to be naked we would have been born that way.”

On each occasion I was just given a blank look:

Seriously, who wasn’t born naked ?

I have not  been to this beach in a long time:

In the days that I went there everyone was friendly, like people in a country town, but apparently, and sadly, these days, it has a few creeps with binoculars sitting on the cliffs.

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.

Thanks to us  — the Flower Power generation 😀

YIPPEE!

Gays could stop pretending that they were heterosexual.

And women could enjoy sex.

more people care about the enviroment

more respect cultures

and more are vegans

 be kind to  non humans

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

And there is a mistake in the audio near end of meditation

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.

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.

AHIMSA

AHIMSA – In a culture that believes only humans matter

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

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 fed the local birds for 25 years when i lived at Goolwa –not accptable now that I am in a retirement village

When i lived in Goolwa mindless automatons told me

“Do not to feed the birds -they are meant  to find their own food”

It doesn’t occur to them that the human plague  (of 8 Billion) has destroyed the homes and food sources of all other life – making so many extinct.

The larger birds (carnivores) kill the smaller birds for food because thanks to homo sapiens there are not enough mice worms  or small reptiles for them to eat

A couple of years back in Australia they started culling the kookaburras to stop them killing the smaller birds

taken by my grandson

I feed the crows too –one neighbour complained about their noise

The other told me that she likes the Ibis but not the crow.

Crows like many other life forms are disliked because of cultural programming

The crow I fed, fed the baby before she? fed  herself

I wasn’t able to take a photo because the baby flew away when I walk outside – came back when I went in.

Humans have this effect on me — have said I am anthrophobic for decades – don’t think it is an actual word)

It upsets me that people use poisons and insecticides

from collective conservation

Kill  snail s —-I was upset this morning by a post about killing snails

And label rats and mice vermin

And then there are kangaroos which most farmers consider vermin and kill them

taken by me on Kangaroo island last century

In the 1970s I was a member of  the original Greenpeace

We were labelled dangerous radicals

I was ridiculed and abused for being  in Animal Liberation and a vegetarian

This has changed

These days I am abused for caring about insects moths and spiders

And told that insects are vermin and dangerous to my health

Humans are dangerous–

from Facebook

Considering all the positive changes in my life time I am optimistic that

the caring, intelligent people will prevail and stop all life from becoming extinct.

Enjoy your day

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.

I wrote this as social satire and sympathetic magic

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

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

The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece

but a true story.

I don’t 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)
