THANKING OUR BODY
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
NAMASTE
“Let them eat cake”
On my soap box again despite knowing people just don’t want to know.
Wiser and well known people have advocated for other life forms and the ecology long before me.
Peter Singer
Albert Schweitzer
John Newton (wrote Amazing Grace)
Irving Stowe and Dorothy Stowe, (founders of GreenPeace)
Casey Affleck
Alec Baldwin
James Cromwell
David Attenborough
And many many more
And there were movies
“The Day the Earth Stood Still” (re make)
And “Avatar’
“Let them eat cake”
a famous quote attributed to Marie-Antoinette, the queen of France during the French Revolution. As the story goes, it was the queen’s response upon being told that her starving peasant subjects had no bread.
Most people have this attitude and response to starving wild life.
e.g.
I am often told
“don’t feed the birds they have to find their own food”
People don’t realize that humans in western culture have destroyed the homes and food sources of all other life forms.
Our norms and attitudes are causing the extinction of all life.
In our culture we don’t share with one another; never mind other life forms.
Karl Marx who advocated sharing – communism – is seen as evil.
And please know China and other so called communist countries have “state capitalism” not communism.
(I wrote a paper on Karl Marx when I majored in sociology)
Some one told me not to go on about the ecology because there is nothing that they can do:
but they and you can:
Do what you can in the microcosm
Feed the birds even if your neighbours abuse you because they don’t want the noise and the poop.
Google eco friendly homes and gardens for ideas:
Don’t use poisons:
Try your best to adhere to ahimsa
Don’t kill insects and mice etc
Enjoy your day
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)

Four AUDIO MEDITATIONS
CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS MEDITATION
I recorded Creative Consciousness meditation earlier this century at the request of a psychic development group that I was running at the time.
TREE MEDITATION paraphrased from Mother Wit by Diane Mariechild —- it is a great book if you can find it.
Am sure you are better at finding things on Google etc than me 😛 — I couldn’t find it.
ASTRAL PROJECTION
Also from Mother Wit
Past life regression
I wrote this meditation — it has been successful when used in psychic development classes.
Clairvoyance is developed through practice:
my daughter suggested this book
I hope that it helps people

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.”
POPULATION
When I was growing up the population of the whole of Australia was 9million
And the majority lived in the eastern states
The suburbs in South Australia were basically small country towns
We moved from Northfield to Salisbury
Which still had horse troughs in the main street and there were still farms with return veranda houses
We didn’t lock our homes or our cars
In the hot weather we slept on the front lawn
Small businesses treated people as valued customers
The bus driver would drop children off at their front door if it were raining
I could phone home from a public phone box even if I had no money
I just asked the operator to put me through
Everyone was friendly and they helped each other
Salisbury is now the suburb from hell
When I first moved to Goolwa it was basically a country town
Everyone said “Hello” whether they knew you or not
And small businesses treated us like valued customers and friends
These days no one says hello unless they know you
People are rude and impatient and only a few small businesses have been able to afford to stay in business
The meaning behind my story is that the human plague isn’t just bad for the ecology and other life forms it is bad for humans too

IF YOU ARE A MISFIT
YOU ARE PROBABLY AN ORIGINAL THINKER
I have reblogged this many times
It is in honour of all the thinking caring people who don’t conform to the norm nor believe everything the media tells them
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
“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.

Magic

“/ˈmadʒɪk/Submit

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

******************
The first page of my Book of Shadows which was started in 1983
“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.
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
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 😀
A few years ago a wise young lady suggested that I was an empath.
I initially thought “More New Age crap” but the concept fits me.
I have always been able to tell if people were lying and as a child thought that everyone could.
After typing the following I realize that I have gone off on a tangent. Oops!
My children used to call me Doctor Dolittle
(But if you have ever read the book; Hugh Lofting says that livestock don’t have thoughts or feelings: so I am different to the character in the book!)
I feel for non human life forms.
I will not kill anything including mice, rats or insects: or chop down trees.
I remove birds, animals and lizards from the road when they have been hit by the species that think they are the only species that matters.
When I ate meat I would have nightmares that I was an animal in a slaughter house.
I do what I can in the microcosm.
There is so much available on magic and spells these days:
My favourite is Marion Weinstein’s “Positive 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. 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 😛
Blessed be
and be kind to non- human life forms.

I didn’t conform to the status quo
When racism homophobia and women having no rights or status was the norm

Attitudes prevail

WOMENS RIGHTS
Someone recently said to me that women still dont have equal rights
to which I replied
–but they are much better than they were in my day
In the 1960’s my boyfriend drove to the middle of nowhere late at night
Parked his fj holden and said
“Come across or walk home”
I got pregnant
When I went to the doctor he said ” You conceived the first or second of June”
I said “The 2nd”
The doctor asked how I knew and I said
“I have only done it twice”
I was considered a whore and a tramp
And treated with disdain
And forced to marry
I had a government job working with computers that were the size of wardrobes in refrigerated rooms
A job that I had sat an entrance exam for
Only the top one percent were employed
I had to give up this job because married women were not allowed to hold government jobs
My husband habitually would fight with his boss and quit
There was no social security so I got work as a barmaid at night
And was abused by other women for working when I had a child/children
My husband who was 6 foot 4 inches and twenty stone constantly hit me
When I was having my face stitched at hospital on one occasion the RN said
”My husband doesn’t hit me” – implying I deserved it
Everyone told me I must have deserved it
I believed for decades that I did
I went to a solicitor to get a divorce and was told abuse wasn’t grounds for divorce: I had to prove adultery
On more than one occasion when I called the police they would take one look at him and just leave
At one time my husband chased me wielding an axe
Fortunately the neighbours saved me by keeping me in their house
The police treated me as if I were the criminal
So I went to the police station and confronted them
They said
“You always go back”
To which I replied
“There is no where to go”
Women had no rights nor status
We couldn’t have a bank account
We couldn’t buy a house
and landlords would not rent to separated women
When I was finally able to leave this relationship the second man I married was
“past master of mental cruelty”
as his first wife (already remarried) warned me
I realize that even today in many jobs women are paid seventy five percent of a man’s wage
and considered subordinate to men
Hopefully this will eventually change
