Trees

trees

I am frequently told trees are a fire hazard

My trees don’t light fires humans do!

Human arsonists have set fire to the side of my property after torching the local bushland.

So the way to stop bushfires would be to get rid of arsonists –not trees

I am frequently told trees area fire hazard

Someone recently said

“trees belong in the bush” (referring to natives)

To which I replied

“they are in the bush –we moved in”

I am on a corner block

The neighbour behind me and to the northeast have removed all trees from their properties

and the neighbour next to me chopped down all the trees — the original owner loved trees.

The council  removed a tree  opposite me

It wasn’t in the way of anything –not even impinging on the footpath

After it was chopped three magpies stood by the stump

Their home gone

these babies were “roadkill” a fortnight later — young birds panic when a car is coming at them and dont know which way to move

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

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

I am sick of people telling me to get rid of trees.

Trees are essential for the air and soil.

And essential for other life forms

Considering famous people like David Attenborough have been ignored I am not expecting anyone taking notice of me

I think that trees should have been listed as an endangered species a century ago

and a permit required to kill one.

Real-estate development removes millions of trees destroying the homes and food source of other life forms and effecting both the soil and air.

So instead of chopping down trees lets bring in harsher penalties for arsonists.

And build our homes in harmony with the environment.

Oops I forgot: People believe that cultures that live in harmony with the environment and don’t worship money are primitive and therefore inferior.

I no longer belong to “Trees for Life” because they have devolved into an impotent bureaucracy.

Not only do the multinationals rule the world they have the masses “brain washed”.

I have recorded a “Tree Meditation” it is paraphrased form MOTHER WIT by Diane Mariechild (Plant meditiation)

HUG A TREE — ask permission of the tree first

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

(1st published 4th April 2017)

It is now almost 8 billion.

Our cultural norms; the Protestant Ethic and our “programming” to consume and support the multinationals are causing the extinction of all life.

Not a literary masterpiece

intended as social satire

and sympathetic magic

The clairvoyant Experiences of a Sceptic is not a literary masterpiece but a true story.

(My excuse is that

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)

 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

NAMASTE

THE RICH GET RICH and the poor get poorer

I told my support staff yesterday that I had gone to uni as a mature student when it was free

She had no idea it had ever been free

It amazes me that people don’t see that the multinationals control  politicians and certainly don’t want “the masses” to get things for free.

Gough Whitlam became Australia’s 21st Prime Minister on 5 December 1972. His Labour government, the first after more than 2 decades, set out to change Australia through a wide-ranging reform program. Whitlam’s term abruptly ended when his government was dismissed by the Governor-General on 11 November 1975.

When you Google it doesn’t tell you the good he did before the multinational gods had him kicked out

From January 1, 1974, the Whitlam Government abolished tuition fees for students at universities and technical colleges.

He I introduced Medibank — this was created in 1975 by the Whitlam government ————The Fraser government made significant changes to it from 1976, including its abolition in late 1981. The Hawke government reinstated universal health care in 1984 under the name “Medicare”.

CULTURAL NORMS

from YouTube

I am re watching The Time Traveller’s wife –series

Prefer this one to the movie –haven’t read the book yet

One thing it made me think of was how nudity is not only taboo but people are prosecuted for it

Whereas violence is acceptable and  entertainment

Marilyn Monroe apparently said something similar

from horspel und feature

When I was a few years younger and a lot slimmer

( slim is not only healthier but is one cultural norm I like to conform to knowing people criticize the way one looks)

I sometimes went to a local nudist beach

The police would stand in the car park which isn’t included in the “nudist beach” sign and fine people for going to their car to collect something without getting dressed

LIFE AFTER DEATH

WHAT THE BLEEP DO WE KNOW

I have several friends who don’t believe in clairvoyance or surviving death

On the rare occasions I mention a clairvoyant experience that amazed me they just look at me with disdain or make some comment implying that I am either making it up or delusional

Although I dislike being “called” a liar (honesty is important to me)

these are true friends                    

 I don’t need them to believe me – I know it to be true

 so I tolerate their attitude.

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.

This would explain why people not in linear time are out of phase

Any clairvoyant will tell you that images and words flash in a fraction of a second

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.

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

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.”

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

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.

12;11;10;9;8;7;6;5;4;3;2;1

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 – 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

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

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.

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

WICCA

MISCONCEPTIONS

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

Not us!

I moved to a retirement village at the end of April 2023 – I have only told one person in the village that  I am a witch and a clairvoyant –this age group definitely think witches are evil –am wearing my pentagram today no one has noticed

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

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 in the 1980s and early 1990s –

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

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

but a true story. I majored in sociology not literature

IF YOU ARE A MISFIT

YOU ARE PROBABLY AN ORIGINAL THINKER

I HAVE POSTED THIS NUMEROUS TIMES –I JUST WISH TO REMIND THOSE THINKING PEOPLE WHO CARE ABOUT THE ECOLOGY;  OTHER LIFE FORMS AND OTHER HUMANS TO PERSEVERE  —- when enough people want change it happens

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:

from FACEBOOK

refusing to implement zero population growth.

and so much more.
