AHIMSA – In a culture that believes only humans matter

Posted on August 23, 2024 by clairvoyanceetc

Leave a Comment

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

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

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–

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)

IF YOU ARE A MISFIT

YOU ARE PROBABLY AN ORIGINAL THINKER

Who wants to fit into a culture where sociopaths succeed

psychopaths are glorified

and mindless automatons fit in

Without “misfits” things would never change

In the 1970s I was ridiculed for being a vegetarian –for being a member of Animal Liberation

Greenpeace was considered a dangerous radical group and its member deviants

And women abused us for being in Women’s Liberation

Environmental groups have devolved into impotent bureaucracies and women’s lib has gone to ridiculous extremes —all we wanted was equal rights.

Plus attitudes haven’t changed much –So many people are horrified at the idea of zero population growth and quote horrors that have happened in China

Once upon a time the church would tell us what to think and do

Now it is the media

HAIL TO THEE ORIGINAL THINKERS

From THE MATRIX

“Most of these people are not ready to be unplugged and many are so inured; so hopelessly dependant on the system that they will fight to protect it”

In the days when only white hetrosexual males had rights and status the mindless masses believed this was how thngs should be 😦

Original thinkers are no longer put to death

nor put in a mental institution:

they are just treated with contempt by mindless automatons.

Original thinkers see beyond their cultural programming:

OUR CULTURAL NORMS ARE MAKING ALL LIFE EXTINCT

The concept that only humans matter is so destructive to the ecology

chopping down trees:

culling other life forms because they are considered vermin or dangerous:

Destroying flora and fauna for real estate development:

thinking concrete is better than dirt:

refusing to implement zero population growth.

and so much more.

VEGAN

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

I have stopped watching television but if I chromecast from same I see ads re eating parts of the corpses of animals that have been factory farmed and production line slaughtered or creatures that have been boiled alive

(I also object to using insect spray – so don’t like these ads either)

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 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.

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

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.

MAGIC/QUANTUM PHYSICS

Posted on August 16, 2024 by clairvoyanceetc

From “on line” Dictionary –
magic”/ˈmadʒɪk/Submitnoun1.the power of apparently influencing events by using mysterious or supernatural forces.

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

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

What we label as magic is actually quantum physics

Einstein’s E = mc2

I understood that time decrease with velocity in my teens (1960s)

But it is thanks to Star Trek that I realized that matter and energy are interchangeable

“Energy equals mass times the speed of light squared.” On the most basic level, the equation says that energy and mass (matter) are interchangeable; they are different forms of the same thing. Under the right conditions, energy can become mass, and vice versa.” From PBS.org

I questioned my spirit guides about life after death and was “told” “can you conceptualize no linear time?” when I answered “no” they said that they couldn’t explain

I can accept that there is nonlinear time but I cannot conceptualize it

“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’m back to knowing that we do

Western culture has us believing we are powerless

Yet what we emotionally give power to manifests

Hence PLACEBOS and NOCEBOS

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.

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 😀

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

My favourite is Marion Weinstein’s “Positive Magic”

pos magic

And this 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.

bay leaves

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.

Blessed be

and be kind to non- human life forms.

This was the first blog that I wrote in April 2012.

I am happy living in this retirement village

But I have no true friends

So many are phoney and two faced and I chose friends that say what they mean and mean what they say

Being true to ones self is much more than just being honest. This Shakespeare quote is how I try to live my life.

Our culture operates on the assumption that people are honest and truthful yet this often isn’t so.

On a “white lie” level; how often do people say what they think the other person wants to hear or simply tell a lie to get attention? Sadly, lying, cheating stealing and scams are rampant. On the other hand one could argue that telling the truth is not always kind.

I feel so strongly about telling the truth as I believe it to be that even if I accidentally lie I feel guilty. What I write I believe either to be true or possible. I am not “into” absolute ideologies, so I acknowledge this is only my opinion.

The following is from Marion Weinstein’s “Positive Magic” (page 234; Positive Magic: Earth Magic productions New York; 1st published in 1978 by Simon & Schuster Pocket Books New York)

“Makeru, or The Word of Truth

The concept of Ma’Keru, or Maat, was a highly regarded state of being in ancient Egypt. In fact, it was always hoped that by the time a person died, he/she would have reached this state of personal evolution. The word itself is difficult to translate. In hieroglyphics, it look like

Witches who trace their own traditions back to the early Egyptian Mysteries still intergrate the concept of Ma’Keru, Maat, or The Word of Truth into their work. Once one has attained Ma’Keru, every word that is spoken literally comes true. The greater Gods and Goddesses were in this state, and you too may strive for it – as the witches do, in essence -for yourself. This state is attained by being very careful to say exactly only what one means. Consequently, “idle chatter, or lying” serves only to dissipate the truth and the Power. In our own lives, this means: Watch what you say! Say what you mean, and mean what you say.”

In my life time society’s attitude to clairvoyance and associated philosophy’s has improved along with attitudes to minority groups such as women; different races; sexual preference; etc.

Although there are still many “out there” who consider clairvoyance to be a con at best and evil at worst.

People are free to believe as they choose and I have no desire to alter people’s beliefs or opinions.

I do not require others to believe as I do to make it true.

The clairvoyants that I know (including myself) are genuine and honest and coming from integrrity. I am very aware that there are charaltans who are more interested in making money than helping people. How prevalent this is, is dificult to ascertain. I was made aware of a scam last century where people who went for readings were told that an “hex” had been put on them and were told it would cost $2,000 to remove same. No doubt similar scams still happen.

The way to avoid being conned is to tust ones “gut”! To quote or maybe para phrase Dr. Deepak Chopra: We should always trust our gut. Every cell in our bodies has neuropeptides which means every cell thinks. It is better to trust your gut because it hasn’t learned to doubt what it thinks.

I am able to “see and communicate” with people that have died as well as other discarnate beings. I know that my clairvoyant ability is genuine because I was extremely sceptical in the 1970’s when I first participated in Spiritualist psychic developement groups. I made sure that I was being honest with myself so that I knew that I was really “seeing”.

Everyone is clairvoyant. Because we live in a culture that denies the existence of this ability; the ability atrophies.

When I “see”(clairvoyance); “hear” (clairaudience) or “feel” (clairsensience); it flashes in a fraction of a second. The Spiritualists would train us to remembr by putting numerous items on a tray: Covering same with a tea towel; removing towel for a fraction of a second and then cover the items again. We had to see how many items we could remember and describe.

Knowing that I have helped someone by proving that their loved one is genuinely communicating is my greatest reward. I am not interested in the payment, although I don’t refuse the money. I have done readings for an exchange or for free in some circumstances.

My first paid reading for the public was in 1980 when I worked in a coffee lounge called “The Sixth Sense” which was in O’Connell Street, North Adelaide.

Despite my clairvoyant awareness and experiences I do not claim to understand the nature of reality. I have my theories but am also aware that these theories are limited by the cultural and personal concepts that I have. Even analogies cannot really help me understand this multi universe and what is beyond.

I realize that I have gone off on a tangent from the original title but this is something that I often do so in essence I am still being true to myself.

Long before the movie “The Matrix” came out I used to say to people in my psychic development groups —“Imagine we are in a virtual reality.” The movie “the Matrix” is creatively brilliant. The surreal colour: The names of the characters: The way the dialogue was presented: the social satire. And it questions “what is real”

In my early twenties I was facinated by the similarity between atoms & solar systems. I can remember associating the concept of an atom with that of a solar system. The protons & neutrons being the sun and the electrons the planets. But this is definitely way off on a tangent.

Now I think I had better be true to myself and end this blog!

I didn’t write this to brag about my clairvoyant abilities or to make money (coz it doesn’t anyway)

Everyone is clairvoyant — the ability atrophies because our culture tells us that it doesn’t exist – I was fortunate enough that my Dad was a Spiritualist — although he didn’t tell me until I was 29

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.

WESTERN MEDICINE

Posted on August 5, 2024 by clairvoyanceetc

Leave a Comment

I tell myself that I should write happy blogs but I am allowing myself to re -blog this knowing many people can relate

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

With me its nocebo effect

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
